Is it just Nokia that is in this position, in your thinking, or anybody? Can I just start using Q's IP to build some cell phones, and when Q says you don't have a license, and I say how much, and Q says 5%, and I say those prices are not FRANDly, then I can just keep producing phones using Q's IP until we're done with the court battles? That seems a stretch. Why is it the Nokia has this advantage and I don't (assuming I've got endless financial resources)? Is the fact that Nokia has previously signed a license that puts them in this position? But the fact that the license expires in Dec. 2008 doesn't mean anything, by your thinking? How would the patent licensing system work at all with this logic in place? BTW, your comments are very much appreciated. As long as Nokia has a plausible argument that the prices it is being offered are not FRAND, they have a valid issue for trial before the courts. This is such a quagmire that resolution could drag on for years without resolution.
