Qcom needed to respond with an affirmative claim against Broadcom in order to raise the stakes to Broadcom. The stakes weren't raised by much, although preparing for the case must have been a nuisance to Broadcom's engineers - and Qcom's! Even accepting that patents must be defended or lost, I'm questioning the energy we thread participants have expended on the Broadcom case. Someone (at least) stated that Broadcom was a sideshow. I didn't realise how much of a sideshow. I don't accept the argument that winning or losing is important PR. Few know what technology (CDMA, GSM, or whatever) is used in their phone. This isn't to denigrate your efforts, or those of Carranza and others, in explaining legal points to the rest of us. I'm grateful to have had several issues explained, and the value of the Nokia case will be much more than $8 million. Ashley
