For that matter, have the non-assertion agreements really lapsed? the whole extension thing again ... .

The only non-assert clause expired in 2004. Qualcomm or Nokia could have brought WCDMA challenges at any time since the expiration of the agreement in April.

Instead, Qualcomm has chosen to go the arbitration route. They believe that Nokia has automatically exercized their option to renew the current contract by continuing to ship WCDMA products. Personally, I find this argument absolutely ludicrous....so I have to assume that the arbitration is a way to play for time. The only reason for Q to delay is to get beyond the option expiration window.
