If Nokia thinks it can continue selling handsets that use QCOM patents, it would pay not only a lump sum, as you suggest, but might have to pay treble damages for intentionally infringing the patents. That outcome is highly unlikely. Nokia would never be dumb enough to go on selling QCOM IP without a license and without paying a royalty fee. According to Qualcomm, only the US has treble damages....and since only a small portion of Nokia's WCDMA shipments will be coming into the US, I doubt it will be that big a deal. I dont think that I have seen a transcript of the analyst day meeting in May, but they talked extensively about all of these issues. My general takeaway was that both companies would continue shipping and that it would take a while for the issues to work their way through the courts. Slacker
