" Nokia announced today that it has filed a complaint against Qualcomm with the Delaware Court of Chancery in the U.S. Nokia is asking the Court to order Qualcomm to abide by its written contractual obligations to international standards setting organizations to license intellectual property essential to GSM and UMTS technology standards on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms."

Let me get this straight.

Been away for a week.

Nokia is now admitting that QUALCOMM does indeed have licensible IPR "essential to GSM..."

thereby making them potentially culpable to the claims of prior Qualcomm lawsuits

their only defense is that is was not offered under FRAND guidelines so they want the court to let them off the hook

Is this tacit admission that QUALCOMM has the goods on the IPR side of this fight news or have I been dozing off in class?
