The Rambus royalties issue is interesting, and so is the EC response. But I don't see enough similarity between this issue before the EC and the Nokia-POS-QUALCOMM issue. If the issue centers around WCDMA, then it's clear that QCOM did just the opposite of Rambus, insisting to the Europeans that QCOM IPR covered every flavor of WCDMA. If, as I understand it, the issue is mainly whether QCOM charges a uniformly reasonable royalty rate, then the facts appear to support QCOM on two different grounds: The royalty rate is less than what certain companies (e.g., Nokia) charge and is consistent with practices supported by the EC. Licensing is available to all companies, and all but a handful of licensees apparently are satisfied with the arrangement. Art
