Here are some numbers from an old post by Eric. Message 24798618 In the Qualcomm case I believe they have escrowed at least $20 million and perhaps a like sum each subsequent quarter), and in addition through the end of 2007 they had provisioned €545 million ($856 million) for potential IPR infringement (InterDigital, IPCom/Bosch, Qualcomm). Presumably these amounts are larger after Q2 earnings since none had gone away at Quarters end. Nokia increased its IPR Infringement PROVISIONS by €261 ($428 million) in 2007. Presumably the increase was primarily intended to cover potential payments to QUALCOMM. Assuming that Nokia and Qualcomm finalize the agreement, dot all 'i's and cross all 't's, and Nokia tenders the complete up front payment (agreed $$$ in arrears, plus a new licensing fee) prior to the end of Qualcomm's fiscal year, will that complete payment show as a one time payment in the unaudited quarterly earnings statement which will be mirrored in an 8K? The Nokia balance sheet will shows total PROVISIONS (with adds and deductions) but it does not break down PROVISIONS by category (Warranty, Tax, IPR, Restructuring, Other -- that's done on the audited annual financials and the annual US SEC 20-F that will be available ~March 2009.
