Nokia's 2 infringement actions brought in response to QUALCOMM's actions in US District Courts are also for non-essential Nokia implementation patents (BREW, MediaFlo, direct conversion, etc.) as is the ITC action.

Qualcomm and Nokia are now technically infringing numerous of each other's patents ... BUT neither is asserting those patents against each other, to their credit.

Thanks for the detailed post. Just for clarification, is it your impression that the cross license only covered CDMA, WCDMA, and GSM patents that had been declared essential? I've assumed that even Nokia's implementation patents were covered in the 2001 agreement, which is why the countersuits indicate that Nokia considers the agreement expired (and not extended). On the other hand, Qualcomm, as you say, has not asserted any patents covered under the agreement.
