To anyone: In reference to this thread, what is the worst case scenario for Nokia to simply ignore IPR and sell product for years to come. Nokia's bad faith practices of ignoring moral obligations to other companies and ignoring court and arbitration rulings screwed IDCC for years with this tactic. They learned well how to fup the civilized, good faith system that took centuries to put into place. Now well versed they move against QCOM.
Are they so ignorant that they don't see the danger to themselves, starting a very dangerous precendent that could damage the entire world IPR structure, including Nokia's own GSM IPR from other handset makers. It is one simple step away from the other handset makers deciding: Nokia gets away with it so screw paying GSM IPR. Simply state that payments would no longer be made because it was determined that their GSM IPR is not legit, then wait for the courts to make a determination years from now, appeal those, ask for arbitration and stall as much as possible.
