There are a lot of companies that claim to have some IPR that is "essential" to WCDMA. That was the whole point of adding "bells and whistles" to Qualcomm's form of CDMA, so that other companies would have something. Apparently (or maybe, I don't really trust anything IDC says), IDC has convinced some people that they have something they need to have to do WCDMA. Why does that mean IDC has everything those companies need to do WCDMA? That would indeed be a great revelation -- all of a sudden, out of the blue, IDC has everything you need to do WCDMA. By the way, the press release also says they've licensed Matsushita to use IDC's patents for CDMA-2000. Do you believe IDC has all the essential IPR for CDMA-2000?
