Here's a brief search of the Patent Office I made using MIMO [MultipleIn/MultipleOut] as the first search term and Qualcomm in the assignee field as the second search term. Eleven MIMO patents awarded to Q's Boston-based inventors, some awarded as early as 2000. None are pending/applied for. appft1.uspto.gov patft.uspto.gov And 67 Q applications pending using OFDM as the search term. Again, the inventors are primarily the Boston-based group to which Nesbitt referred: patft.uspto.gov Intel has been awarded 3 MIMO patents and has applied for an additional Zero MIMO patents. appft1.uspto.gov appft1.uspto.gov Motorola, the other big player, has been awarded 6 patents and has applied for 2. appft1.uspto.gov patft.uspto.gov Atheros, zero awarded; zero applied for. patft.uspto.gov appft1.uspto.gov Texas Instruments has applied for 7; has been awarded one. patft.uspto.gov I don't pretend to suggest that the number of the patents is in any way probative of anything. However, it is corroborative of the Nesbitt report and of Paul Jacobs' statements at the analyst day presentations. Looks increasingly to me like Q is setting itself up as a major, major player in advanced WiFi. And, before I forget, Nokia has 3 patents awarded; 10 applied for, not all of which refer to OFDM. patft.uspto.gov appft1.uspto.gov
