<The basic CDMA patent IS the same however QCT was clever in tieing alot of "support" function patents to CDMA2000
that do not apply to WCDMA>

I believe if you follow the patent litigation between MOT, ERICY, NOK and NTT, you will find there are several patents they are trying to break. I believe it was 49 in Korea with MOT, where QCOM held in 46.

In QCOM's press releases on patent litigation they provide the following: “QUALCOMM holds dozens of patents that are essential to the leading CDMA standards.”

Here are two that are essential:

"Spread Spectrum Multiple Access Communication System Using Satellite or Terrestrial Repeaters"

"System and Method for Generating Signal Waveforms in a CDMA Cellular Telephone System"
