<<QUALCOMM also patented much more systematically and aggressively ... and with a much different mind set from the outset than the Europeans or Asians [patent for profit v. patent to protect or patent to cross-license] -- particularly in the late eighties and early to mid-nineties -- and they created an extremely aggressive, comprehensive, and effective IP business model which they evolved over time. >> I would suggest that you go back and review history on what happened with the open standard and GSM patents. Everyone took a very agressive patent stance on thos, so much so that the Europeans almost got outflanked by MOT. A couple of years ago someone posted a white paper outlining the history of the GSM patent base. I would suggest that Qualcomm patent approacg was moderate compared to the GSM one that took place and the fact that GSM really never congealed as a standard, but rahter 13 standards that were similar, but ndiffernt so that the phone stack actually runs 13 differnt modes of code.
