ML - I'm nolawyer but it seems to me that NOk's argument is that while they entered into a license agreement covering W-CDMA but that was a few years ago. Since that time NOKK have been doing thier own research and have developed their own IPR.

So what they now appear to be saying is that the patent pool maix has changed and that Q's IPR now makes a much samller contribution to the whole. Further they say that they do not even need Q's IPR at allas they have have a work-around.

So the two end up in front of a judge called by Q to injunct. NOK says but we don't need Q's IPR....Q say nonsense.....result....a trial.....in other words no injunctions and a decade or so before the case comes to trial. On top of that NOK's legal team could win a Nobel prize in delaying things.

I hope some of the lawyers on the thread can say that this strategy won't work for NOK.

Best,

L
