Nokia said they had the "largest" IPR position in WCDMA. And maybe if one is simply counting the total number of patents without giving any consideration to the relative importance of each individual patent, that is true. But if Nokia has the largest position in CDMA generally, why have they paid QCOM the full 5% on every CDMA handset they have ever sold. Why hasn't QCOm paid Nokia a single penny on the millions of CDMA chipsets it has sold. And if Nokia had any real strength in WCDMA IPR relative to QCOM, then why did Nokia sign a royalty bearing license agreement with a hefty up- front fee in which they agreed to pay QCOM the same royalty for WCDMA, or any other cdma variant, as they had been paying historically for IS-95? And throw in their GSM and WCDMA IPR, such as it is, in the process? 3gnewsroom.com You really have no clue, do you?
