"But Nokia said: 'This number (3 pct) represents Nokia's aggregate gross royalty payments made under all the numerous patent license agreements applicable to its WCDMA handsets. It excludes infrastructure-related royalties and all royalty income collected by Nokia.'"

If we assume Nokia has paid 4% net royalty rate to Qualcomm for about 1/3 of the WCDMA market (to-date), that merely means it has collected about 0.5% net from other manufacturers with 2/3 of the market.

If anything, that reinforces Qualcomm's argument that the relative value of their WCDMA patent portfolios is huge.
