Nokia believes that Qualcomm is currently using over one hundred of Nokia's GSM/WCDMA and CDMA2000 essential patents in its chipsets. A hundred? That isnt nearly as many as I would have guessed <g>.... Nokia's request for royalty payments from Qualcomm is based on royalty levels which are fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND). How much does Nokia collect from Via for CDMA2000 chipset sales and how much do they collect from Agere or another WCDMA chipset company without much IP? If the answer is zero, I have to tell you that this doesnt look very FRAND'ly. In fact, it would look a lot like Q's current attempts to extract value out of their GSM/GPRS/EDGE patents. Slacker
