brcm and nok could be hurt real bad for frivolous suits if proven

A frivolous suit is one having no basis in law or in fact. The decisions so far show that both the law and the facts are still in question. Therefore, if there is ANY basis for a suit, the law allows it to go forward.

A better possibility is a lawsuit charging interference with business by making false or misleading accusations that resulted in customers switching to a different supplier or product altogether because of fears about the QCOM products or IP.

The real problem here is the conduct of the litigation by QUALCOMM's supposedly expert legal team. Their actions, or lack thereof, destroyed credibility, damaging the company and its shareholders. I'd like to see a big malpractice suit against the lawyers who screwed up, but the problem here is that we don't know whether anyone at QUALCOMM misled the lawyers.
