Re: legal expenses

Attorney fees around the world are only one component.Additionally, there are huge expenses and fees incurred by engineering, economic, and other experts,and for travel, lodging, copying, stenographic, and other costs of complex litigation.As for whether they are ultimately "justified", the litigation and regulatory systems are inherently unpredictable. While winning the most important battles is crucial, the costs of losing are even greater - same fees and expenses, plus decline in future growth. So far the market has Qualcomm pegged as the underdog. That`s the "line" where the bets are being wagered. One faction will be proven right, one wrong. When the outcome is announced or more forseeable, the money will be moved around quite quickly.
