Projecting is a nice word ... misrepresenting is a better word. When I try to think of QCOM's IPR position in WCDMA vs. CDMA2000, I rememeber one important fact. QCOM charges the same whether a company uses one or all of it's patents. They do not add charges on top of each other like the GSM camp, creating an overload of royalties up to 20%. It's one simple flat fee for QCOM and it's CDMA2000/WCDMA patent portfolio. The little nuances about chip speed don't matter to QCOM's patent portfolio. MOT, ERICY, and NOK have found this out in every court in the US, Korea, Japan, and Europe.
