JG, QUALCOMM is going to have to apply for an urgent injunction on behalf of Motorola and other American companies, and on behalf of Uncle Sam who is being robbed by Nokia as Nokia is cutting off QCOM profits, which are paid in large part to Uncle Sam. Many thousands of QCOM employees will have their income cut too, stock options down the gurgler for a start, so their tax payments to Uncle Sam will be cut.
QUALCOMM should immediately move the Supreme Court and the Executive Branch with Congressional backing to ban all Nokia products from the USA and for the USA to freeze and confiscate all Nokia assets until normal royalties are paid, including back amounts and a penalty for bloody-mindedness. The Supreme Court should not leave $20 on the counter, or even $5.
QUALCOMM can't continue in business, unable to use Nokia intellectual property, if Nokia is wantonly, brazenly and ridiculously, using QUALCOMM property. Not only is Nokia not paying the royalties, but QUALCOMM will be missing out on their own sales.
I really hope QUALCOMM isn't just carrying on as usual, doing the same as Nokia and just using Nokia's property without paying. As they say, two wrongs don't make a right, but they do get the two naughty boys whipped in the wood shed.
QUALCOMM says they don't need Nokia's intellectual property. That seems very unlikely given all the patent counting. If QUALCOMM is simply lying about that, woe is us. Dirty, filthy hands are NOT allowed in courtrooms. Not for long anyway and they get a damn good washing if they show up.
Forget about Iran and Iraq. There's a more serious problem in Espoo.
