Qualcomm agreed to pay InterDigital over $5 million and both companies cross licensed each other for second generation (2G) useage of certain of their patent properties. But, according to telecom tech investment expert Darrell Smith (aka "Corpgold" on some message boards), the agreement does not provide for Qualcomm's transfer of InterDigital's patented technology in third generation use. That would be a very significant opening for IDC in Qualcomm's CDMA market. Instead of simply passing on to its clients the InterDigital technology it cross licensed years ago, in any third generation useage, manufacturers will now have to acquire licensing from InterDigital for IDC's part of their products technology. Darrell, there is a lot of grandiose claims about IDC's prospects for 3G IPR's. I was wondering if you could do you part to clarify the issues. How do you support the above contention that the 1994 agreement does not apply to 3G? Your position appears to contadict statements made by Qualcomm's management. I found the above text at Bill's web site that promotes IDC. Thanks for clearing this up. Bux
