Re: Nokia getting royalties

PJ has made the point that Nokia has had little success in licensing their patents for 3G. With their voting power on standards committees, they had the ability to get some of their IPR included, in areas where other viable technological alternatives existed, and could have been readily chosen. Qualcomm`s strength lies where comparable inventions were lacking,other approaches were unfeasible, and/or where major problems were otherwise insoluable. Thus the "patent counting" new order proposed by Nokia, versus the "patent quality" method of valuation that has been traditionally employed. Follow the licenses (i.e. the money), negotiated between sophisticated corporations, and you will arrive at the essence of Qualcomm`s superior position.
