Q as a matter of habit declares its patents late and or that this is done premeditatedly so as to gain unfair avantage and that this in established law and precedent will automatically make unenforceable any such patent

I'm pretty certain the law does not work this way. Judge Brewster's and the jury's finding that the video compression patents are unenforceable, even though valid, can (and will) be appealed on several points of law and the facts. Among the issues is whether the evidence of QUALCOMM's alleged duplicity meets the "clear and convincing" standard.

I think Brewster now sees he overstepped on the law and on the tone of his decision, which would explain why he no longer wants any part of future related cases.

Even though QCOM is not blameless in this whole affair, and in fact is a more ethical company than its adversaries (no matter how hard they try to argue to the contrary), nice guys don't always finish first. They rarely finish last, either.
