"Can't selectively enforce your patents. Have to do it uniformly or not at all." Would that not apply to Qualcomm's GSM/EDGE IPR as well? It seems like a mistake that Qualcomm has already announced that it had no intention of asserting their GSM patents against the hundreds of other GSM handset makers... As for the observation that GSM chipmakers don't pay a royalty, it's clear that they still need a license, even if no royalties exchange hands. Otherwise, the Spinco strategy never would have been required in 2000-2001 to get QCT the IPR it needed.
