Jgoren- Just like financial consultants the box makers want a piece of the lucrative patent royalty fee market. Financial consultants would rather be hedge fund money managers because of the higher fees. Neither the box makers nor the consultants are qualified to earn the fees, but that doesn't stop them from trying. Take Nokia for example. Do you know of any licensing contracts Nokia has signed with other vendors? Does Nokia have a similar licensing program like Quals? If so how many companies have signed contracts with Nokia to have access to their IPR. The box makers know the money is made in developing IPR and licensing it. Unfortunately for them they can't make the type of money holders of IPR can make, and that frustrates the hell out of them.
