Okay. They can't or won't say which patents are essential. I can tell you though,
that few Q patents are regarded as 'essential' to the operation of WCDMA. This is the platform.


I bite. I'll give the stupid moron layman's rebuttal. Clarke, yourself, or Walt can provide the technical side.

Even if it were true that "few Q" patents are essential, if they are THE essential patents, well then... Of course patent expiration could still be an issue..

AND...There is no logical explanation for Ericsson's settlement with QCOM other than that they concluded that they could not engineer around QCOM.

Is anyone else claimimng Q's patents aren't essential?
