Brihack - You certainly appear on the scene with a bang! An attachment to the suit lists 19 specific patents, if anyone is interested. No much else of interest in the attachments, although the original file has been "in chambers" quite a bit over the last two weeks.

I am interested if it isn't too much trouble. The reason is that I looked at all the patents applied for by Telular and none appeared to be "technically and commercially necessary and essential to make and sell WLL products using CDMA.". However, Telular may have acquired some patents via acquisition or purchase which, of course, do not show up in such a search.

In addition, this whole suit/counter-suit thing started when MOT sued Qualcomm over a design patent for a flip phone. This also does not seem to fit too well into the category of "'technically or commercially necessary' to make and sell certain CDMA and Dual-Mode wireless products.". (Although perhaps it could be argued that a flip phone is commercially necessary?) So this begs the question of whether MOT was also suing over some additional patents which *do* fit into this category and would thus be a breach of the PLA and allow Qualcomm to file the latest complaint.

PS Note that without the full PLA, it is hard to know exactly how "technically and commercially necessary" is defined. Thus, even with the patent info it will be impossible to draw any definite conclusions - but it would be interesting info which would clarify things to some degree.
