That is rubbish - tell me how do you define what's more important between say power management and the radio in the handset. Not rubbish Pal. Ericsson tried every which way possible to get around Qualcomm's critical patents and couldn't that is why it signed. If you want to ignore that critical issue, you are really missing the picture here. Some patents can be invented around and others can't. I guess the term might be "blocking patents" as distinct from "essential patents" where essential patents are just all the patents listed on the spec. Blocking patents are those that no one, try as hard as they might, can come up with an alternative way of doing them.
