Nokia gave Qualcomm outright ownership of a swag of patents, but retained ownership of a swag of others which enabled them to sue anyone such as Apple if they thought their patent rights were ignored. Qualcomm now has a full portfolio of wifi patents and is in a position to supply integrated chips incorporate mult-mode and multi-band functionality including proprietary technology which Broadcom can't supply. So hopefully Broadcom will go down the gurgler with Nokia because they are evil-doers. Nokia is battling for survival in a big deal with Microsoft. They will buy Qualcomm asics so it could up pretty good for QCOM anyway, even with the low, measly, 2.6% royalty Nokia apparently pays. There are no co-shared patents between Nokia and Qualcomm. Qualcomm owns some and licences them to Nokia and Nokia owns some and licenses them to Qualcomm. Mqurice
