10.5% for three poxy little obvious patents: <The court set royalty fees of 6 percent and 4.5 percent for two infringing technologies used on the EVDO chips but did not set a fee for the walkie-talkie technology. The fees are taken from sales revenue that Qualcomm makes when it sells a chip with the Broadcom technology.

Qualcomm would have to pay more than 10.5 percent of revenues for some chips because they violate all three patents, Rosmann said. Others violate one or two. >

Maybe Judge Selna is trying to help QUALCOMM by this subterfuge of establishing a reasonable royalty rate for patents. At 3% per patent, and with QUALCOMM's patent wall, QUALCOMM should change the business to selling individual patents at auction. 1000 patents = 3000%. That's better than the current 4% average and less if Art's and George Gilder's ideas are adopted.

4.5% for a single patent is excellent news: <The royalty rate associated with a patent on using two networks was set at 4.5%; the two companies were ordered to negotiate a royalty rate on the push-to-talk patent. >

When Broadcom wants to buy the rights to QUALCOMM intellectual property, we now have a price to offer them. If they don't like it, they can go to hell.
