This Broadcomm PR is such crap. Saying that they have not stolen any QCOM IP is a bold faced lie. Correct me if I'm wrong about this. Isn't BRCM saying that they are about ready to market their WCDMA chipset? And if so that means that BRCM is using CDMA IP without a license from QCOM. Therefore they stole the IP they are using in their WCDMA chip sets that they are going to sell. Or is my thinking all goofy here? In this case, I think that Broadcom's PR more accurately describes the judges decision than Qualcomm's. Jim came away from Q's comments thinking that there was going to be an injunction against Broadcom selling WCDMA chipsets. That isnt the case, and while Broadcom might be underplaying the number of documents covered by this decision....this really isnt going to have much (likly any) impact on their business. BTW, there is a distinction between trade secrets (which is what this suit is about) and IP. They clearly have possesion of some documents that would be considered trade secrets but they deny "misuing" them. Slacker
