whilst I have no legal background, I think what QCOM/Spinco is planning, is legally do-able, because the patents are owned "effectively jointly" by both companies. They might have some doc that spells out "who owns which patents" at IPO time, and then have a "cross licencing contract" at whatever $ value they choose (such as $0).

This is how I believe it works in the HWP/A case. which is how A could develop the "photonic switch" using patented inkjet technology, without forking out $s for it.

cheers, kumar
