<<I'm also not following your point about over what Nokia can "sell to its 3G customers". Are you assuming that Nokia cannot sell handsets beyond April '07 unless they have a Qcom WCDMA license? What makes you so certain the Q would be granted on its request for injunction?<b/> Judging by a similar case decided by federal courts earlier this year, (eBay vs. Mercexchange) over patent infringement, I don't think we can assume Qualcomm has got this one in the bag. Far from it..>> WCDMA question and discussion makes me think there is no infringement of IPR between the 2 parties and no issue of injunction there, the royalty rate is the only issue. QCOM claims NOK infringed IPR involving GPRS/EDGE, which NOK seems not denying, then injunction of those products is not out of question. I have the impression that GSM network should first be upgraded with GPRS/EDGE in order to have WCDMA function in the system. If that is born out to be the fact, it is clear that injunction could apply indirectly to WCDMA also. Neither party should want to see this happen. However, if QCOM gets verdict that NOK infringed, the game is over for NOK, I would think.
