Regarding disclosure and QUALCOMM concealing patents. I found a whole lot hiding here: patft.uspto.gov

There are swarms of them. It wasn't even that hard to find them. Just ask Google "Patent office". Then click on the one that refers to USA rather than UK.

It even has a helpful "search" function to help unconceal the patents. So I put in "video" and "frames" just for fun.

Blow me down if I haven't hacked a vast treasure trove of concealed patents. They are hiding in there like termites in a termite mound.

It looks as though QUALCOMM won't be able to hide any more patents. They are all disclosed, right there, on public display, without even having to pay money.

Good luck to anyone hoping to hide them nowadays. Of course Judge Brewster and the standards bodies are still stuck in the 19th century, so they aren't aware of this new-fangled cyberspace functionality.

For a decade, disclosure/concealing/submarining have been anachronisms.

The whole idea is ridiculous.
