>>Uncanny!<<

Yes, and the board has been through all this and I have to believe that QCOM knows these rules far better than anyone including the writer. What weakens the article as a pertinent point is that QCOM disclosed the GSM IPR usage and has been in talks with Nokia for sometime over its license obligation.
Also, in all of Nokia's counter charges they have not (to my knowledge) claimed patent ambush.
Also, if Nokia had a clear case of patent ambush or any other abuse by QCOM they would not be pushing for arbitration. Using IDCC as a case of Nokia's past MO for arbitration suggests that Nokia knows they are liable, but wants some kind of compromise short of the one Jim proposes.
