If a mobile device mfg wants to limit litigation…. Use a QCOM chipset , and don’t be first to litigate. ….Patent Peace.


Well that sort of depends. Most of the industry is involved in litigation with Apple. Perhaps Q has pass-through rights to Apple's FRAND patents, but that wont protect companies from Apple's OS and touch patents.

OTOH, it does provide some protection for Apple and that could be a very big deal for at least the next few years.
