Dan, re: “rebates”.................. “ The contract never covered royalties. It was a rebate on the modem purchases. bloomberg.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A rebate on modem purchases was Bloomberg’s take. Again, that is not QCOM’s position. The BCPA was a separate and distinct agreement with AAPL with payments made to AAPL to assure “patent peace” - restricting AAPL’s ability to sue or induce lawsuits / enforcement actions, rights to certain AAPL patents, and general cooperation from AAPL. AAPL violated that agreement by inducing the FTC, KFTC / Samsung, and others to initiate legal actions against QCOM. It is a separate and distinct agreement similar to various cross-license agreements that also off-set / reduce FRAND based royalty costs. Again, this will be one of the core issues the QCOM attorneys must confront. Reading / hearing their arguments will be “interesting”, and hopefully worthy of their substantial fees. Re: still holding AAPL- I sold my chunk and my net worth has since suffered.... as Buffet went on an AAPL buying spree at about the same time.
