Therefore the only way the SULA could possibly have been in force for Nokia to violate would be if Qualcomm's theory of implicit extension is valid. This theory depends on an interpretation of California Law vis-a-vis continued "use" of the patents.

I recall NOK sending QCOM a check for 20M$ after the '01 SULA expired. One could argue that NOK has in fact extended the SULA by continuing to use QCOM IP and publicly admitting it needs to pay for it.
