100cfm, Re: BRCM complaint-

Apparently BRCM doesn’t like the Q’s current terms, part of which apparently is charging a royalty on the chipset, and then again on the total handset ASP (which includes the chipset).

But, >>”McGregor, whose company is also suing Qualcomm in the United States, acknowledged that technology companies often charge different prices to different business customers”.

Why not give him what he wants>>> Don’t charge him a royalty on each chip’s ASP . He acknowledges that companies “charge different prices to different customers” so just charge BRCM a flat dollar amount per WCDMA chip for the use of Q’s IPR and work in a volume “discount” to boot.

$1.00/ chip- 1 to 10 units sold.
$1.10/ chip- 11 to 100
$1.50/ chip- 101- 1,000
$2.00/ chip- 1,001- 10,000
$2.50/ chip- 10,001- 100,000

I understand McGregor is one smart cookie— he ought‘a go for that!!
