I don't know how this was viewed as a Qualcomm positive. My interpetation is that the volume of facts and pages of briefs numbering into the thousands was just too much for the Judge to get through in the time frame initialy set and that a complex rather than a simple remedy is required. Versus the general consensus that since it wasn't a simple decision to go with the staff attorneys that Q hasn't infringed.

The fact that the Judge stated it was a complex case doesn't mean it's because Qualcomm has any favourable position. It seems that it means just the opposite due to the fact that a ruling against Q would have substantial impact against a large number of third parties.

The judge's conundrum seems to be, how does he enforce BRCM's patent rights without destroying innocent 3rd parties.

I have to think that the "Complex" side of this equation equals a ruling against Q and the remedy needed is no easy matter to determine. Versus the non complicated side of the equation equalling the fact that Q has not infringed on 3 measly patents and that there is no need for a complex remedy. It seems simple means no infringement and complex means a remedy is needed and lots of companies and consumers suffer.

Hope I'm completely wrong.
