About The forthcoming trial.How can Ericsson not agree to sign a licence for CDMA 2000.Could it be so simple that Ericsson believes they have a strong case arguing that QCOM is infringing on their patents.If that is the case and if the QCOM guys have not been totally truthful with Gregg about how strong case they have that could explain something.I am sure that Ericsson is not going to court if they are sure to loose.If they win QCOM will be in a rather difficult position when they have used their own patents as blackmail.If Ericsson wins and says to QCOM that they will not licence their patent to QCOM they can just close down the shop.The W-CDMA standard is not finalized so they have the possibilities to change the standard so they don't infring on QCOMS patents.In IS-95 already millions of phones are sold so they can't change that standard in any big way and still keep it compatible with the old phones. Maurice raving about that Ericsson will steal QCOM:s patents is not relevant .Of course they can't steal any patents.If they did that they would be stopped from selling their goods in more or less any country. Except China maybe. /R
