But the 5% price tag on Qualcomm's WCDMA is another story. If Nokia's WCDMA patent portfolio is as big as Qualcomm's and also the number (and quality of essential patents) is equal One company produces a $200 handset with those patents while the other produces a $20 chipset. The economic value that Nokia extracts from Q's patents is signficantly larger than the value that Q gets from Nokia's patents. Absent a court order, it is virtually impossible that Qualcomm will allow for any signficant reduction in the royalty rate. Slacker
