These were follow up posts. His posts brought this question. Please don't tell me that this guy by: bankscollinsrutherford 1/26/00 12:22 am Msg: 32131 of 32258 searched the patent database for "Qualcom" instead of "Qualcomm". Believe it or not, there are actually 8 patents issued for "Qualcom" (someone made a boo-boo). That may explain his gross error in calculating the number of patents he thinks were issued to Qualcomm. This was his response to the question bankscollinsrutherford by: renntech750 1/26/00 12:56 am Msg: 32136 of 32263 You're absolutely correct. This afternoon, as an after-thought, while going over IDC's patents, I entered Ericsson's and Qualcomm's names in the "assignee" field just to get a feel for numbers. Of course, I didn't realize at the time that I had made a spelling error. I realized then that there must have been an explanation. Perhaps, as in the case with IDC, there was a name change. Or, maybe Qualcomm formed a separate company for research. In any event, I am deeply apologetic for this careless oversight. During further research into their patents, this error would have manifested itself eventually. Perhaps this is a valuable lesson. We need to have quality, first-hand information where we can put our fingers on the evidence. This is what I am seeking. Renntech After his response another poster offered this Banks by: lem_75110 1/26/00 1:07 am Msg: 32142 of 32265 The patent search I used came up with actually 6 patents assigned to "Qualcom" and 362 patents assigned to "Qualcomm" in the same city for all years. Although the patents don't mean any thing to me, I find it interesting that the same probable assignee would be spelled differently.
