Clark, I realize this is the Q thread, but I would suggest in regards to this statement "As for IDC's patents, they have some good patents, but nothing I would say is even remotely as valuable ...would have a tough time in court when not in a one-sided (ex-parte) system like the US PTO. Many 're-validated' patents don't survive court challenges, and I would say that many of IDC's TDMA patents fall into that category (although I never tried to look at all of IDC's TDMA patents, only some which Jim L. listed for me.)."

that you re-review patent 089 on IDC which was approved for revalidattion by the US Patent office on the 15th of September by the agent in charge of review. The agent not only revalidated 089 for modulation and vo-coders (the major argument of the ERICY case against IDC), but approved it with additional claims 16 through 22. These addtional claims have not been made public, but I was told that it combines other IDC claims under other patents and includes a FULL sweep a TDMA system. Your information was only partially true prior to any revalidation. As for not surviving a court challenge? ERICY main claim against IDC all had to do with claims made in US Patents in 089, and IDC not only gets those claims revalidated but they get every claim protested by MOT in their trial revalidated. As you know, IDC was asking for 3% infra and 5% handset in the MOT trial. So, relook at your information. I will send you some data privately if you desire.

good book by the way
