>>Here is a copy of Nokia's response to Q's ITC claims. >>Hopefully, this can put to rest the speculation that they are accepting Q's IPR claims....they use the word denies 110 times in the 23 page document. <<

But there is an obvious contradiction in the ITC filing and their own press release concerning the Delaware action. Their ITC filing denies any valid QCOM GSM patents. But a few weeks later it is a different story. If their position is that QCOM has no essential GSM IPR then why are they filing to make QCOM license its essential GSM IPR.

The following is from the Nokia press release:
>>Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) 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.<<
