There is no evidence, not a scap, not one scintilla of evidence that there was any intelliegent plan whatever behind Qs decsion behind Qs participation. If you can see one please point to in the judgement.

Forget the video patent case....and move on to the GPRS/EDGE case. Do you really think that Qualcomm didnt know whether their IPR might be applicable to those standards?

Qualcomm's core competency is radio interfacees. It goes beyond the realm of possibility that they were ignoring the development of GPRS and EDGE. They had engineers at the meetings and I am sure that they spent quite a bit of time analysing the standards...both for IPR purposes as well as for their own future development of chipsets using GPRS and EDGE.

If you believe that the engineers at Qualcomm are even remotely competent then you have to believe that they made a consious decision not to disclose their patents to the standards committee. It is my view that they must have believed that their was no legal requirement for them to do so as long as they didnt actively participate (or they never would have had engineers at the meeting). Unfortunately, Brewster disagrees with that interpretation of their obligations....
