Ron, I take your points, but technical paperwork aside, form and documentation in the right sequence, the intention of the disclosure business is so that people who are involved in the standards know what's going on, who owns what and what is necessary or essential to the standard. No ambushing allowed. No sneaky "behind the curtain" control of essentiality. Nokia knew all about QCOM's essential or otherwise patents. They were studying them, using them, disputing their applicability to W-CDMA, let alone GSM, GPRS and EDGE. Nokia couldn't possibly plead more than a technicality on "disclosure". I bet they knew very well what patents QCOM had that were relevant and what wasn't relevant. C2 seems to have done a pretty good dredging through the murk. Mqurice
