What are u referring to here? I thought that patents usually last for 17 years or so? Would be grateful if you could clarify.

I think the theory goes like this:

Even though Nokia (there's the Nok ref.) and about 70 other companies have been paying CDMA royalties and/or license fees to Qualcomm for some time now, one day their "amnesia" may evaporate and one or more of them will remember that they actually developed the technology and will sue Q. Then, the Judge, in a fit of confusion, will rule against the Q and the royalties will be transferred to the true developers who will live happily ever after.
