potstyle (in the mode of your post),

<< molly, are you insinuating that IDCC has no IPR in WCDMA? Even though the company has publicly stated they have essential IPR in ALL modes of the 3G standard? >>

"molly" is Mr. Molloy to his friends and Mr. Molloy did not insinuate anything of the kind. He posted a link and made a comment. IDCC was absent from the linked listing. I am sure you have an explanation for this.

"Perhaps a diligent investor would note the following" from Tom Farley's interesting and well researched "Digital Wireless Basics" in the Wireless History section:

privateline.com

>> (3)TIA IS-665: OKI/Interdigital Wideband CDMA

Another odd duck, Interdigtal's wideband CDMA plan uses a 10 MHz path in each direction instead of narrowband's 1.25 MHz channel. Like PCS 1900 and the two systems just discussed, it offers no backward compatibility with AMPS. That compares to IS-95 which we'll see later, a narrowband CDMA arrangement whose handsets default to analog when a CDMA digital channel is missing. Although it does have specific differences with IS-95, none of them seem important enough for it to have come into wide use. <<

As part of your DD You may want to compare Mr. Farley's view of wireless with the information published at the informative but blatantly promotive "TelecomTechStocks.com" web site.

<< Do you have access to a published document as to the WCDMA standard or its technical specifications? >>

There is no such thing as a WCDMA standard (unless you are referring to TIA IS-665). Perhaps you are referring to 3G UMTS 'Release 99' UTRA. It is available at the ETSI site you link in your post as well as a number of other sites (3GPP, UMTS Forum, ARIB, et al) if you have access privileges or know how to access or leach. as for the ETSI site, you can register and obtain any 3 documents but the UMTS (UTRA) specification consists of many of same.
