Nokia is striking at the heart of Q's business model, but is also making an argument which is potentially very dangerous as the price per patent could easily result in a total license/royalty burden which is higher than the one under the 2001 deal.

We'll see.

I wonder if Q's response is in the public record? I'd like very much to see it.

From a purely intuitive standpoint, I think a judge trained in the common law will have some difficulty accepting the arguments NOK makes. They have an air of the surreal, a lack of commercial pragmatism and a seeming attempt to stealthily avoid its obligations which the judge may find offensive, i.e., the $80 million set aside is a joke. But that is my litigator's training at work using Rule No. 1 of litigation: Know Your Judge And Don't Piss Him Off.
