It was my understanding that the Q got the majority of its needed GSM IPR via the cross-licensing agreement with TI. Also, now that it is known that Nokia ‘borrowed’ some of Q’s IPR to make GSM more effective, I don’t see how Q cannot be in the driver seat. As far as FRAND goes, approaching 200 or so licensee’s seems to be proof – also the Hagfish signed up for the royalties prior to WCDMA being a standard – thus they knew in advance what the fee was going to be. There are just belly aching- I don’t know if Q can hit them up for triple damages – but if they can will be a large bill.
