Ron, that is an interesting list.

Yes, Q was present at many of those meetings. However, it seems that if any specific meeting did not deal with the IPR in question, attendance at non-relevant meetings may not be relevant.

The whole IPR dustup seems surreal to me. I should think that all major players monitor the activities of all of the pertinent standards development organizations very carefully. It would be surprising if Q tries to claim that it had no idea that its IPR was being incorporated into the various GSM-based standards.

The CDMA Development Group is a market representative member of 3GGP and undoubtedly has some input into things on its own, though its members probably don't get to vote.

Nokia, too, as an extremely active 3GGP member, undoubtedly also knew that Q's IPR was being incorporated into the GSM-based standards regardless of whether Q had declared it.

If Q failed to declare timely pursuant to the ETSI policy, is it barred from forever asserting its rights? Is the fact that Q undoubtedly asserted its rights in a timely manner in UMTS [2001] sufficient to put anyone with a room temperature IQ on notice that these declarations might be applicable to GSM-based standards because of WCDMA's and GSM's importance to the UMTS standard? I should think so.
