I wonder if others will be able to use this against QCOM? It's seems to be a little crack in the patent armor.

I dont think that this is the case. If I remember correctly, ETRI entered into a royalty sharing agreement with Qualcomm for CDMA infrastructure and handsets sold in Korea. The conflict came in when Qualcomm cited the fact that the contract specifically used the word "cellular". Qualcomm maintained that the royalty agreement did not apply to PCS (1800MHz) sales. Qualcomm withheld payments on all of the PCS sales (which now has been reversed). I dont see much impact towards any other licensees.

My guess is that the exact situation is detailed in an SEC filing....
