Broadcom's one page argument looks like QUALCOMM's when Nokia's products are banned. QUALCOMM will be able to photocopy Broadcom's one page synopsis and resubmit it with QUALCOMM as the supplicant seeking remedy.

It looks like an open and shut case. It's accepted that QUALCOMm broke the rules and used Broadcom's intellectual property without a licence. The remedy is going to be a banning of QUALCOMM products and prevention of QUALCOMM or licensees programming ASICs for power saving in Broadcom mode.

The President will go along with the remedies [see previous rant].

So, if QUALCOMM doesn't want to live with those remedies, they are going to have to treat with Broadcom and agree to a licence. Or, invent some other method, which doesn't seem as though it's all that easy, or they'd have done it.

Next!
