From the 10K, it appears that IDCC licenses its
patents to the infrastructure and handset
manufacturers; although, there are many
companies on that list who have their own chip
operations. As you know the ITU was not
involved in 1G or 2G so each company was free to
license under any terms, but under the 3G Patent
Platform, the manufacturers act as the collection
point for all royalties agreed upon by the parties
in one on one negotiations. In the case of
UbiNetics, the initial license was for 2G
TDMA/GSM; although, one can argue the point that
it is already acting as the final manufacturer in
the 3G sense of the manufacturer as the
collecting point:
