Dave, I'm not sure I understand you. Qualcomm pioneered CDMA for use in a mobile environment. As you know CDMA based on the IS-95 standard has been around for some years. According to the Qualcomm website "QUALCOMM has an extensive CDMA patent portfolio with over 130 CDMA patents issued and approximately 400 patent applications pending in the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, China and elsewhere around the world." You said "However, the Q is claiming that the current W-CDMA propsal/standard infringes on their. That is different from the ETSI current W-CDMA proposal/standard infringes on the Q's IP. Therefore, the Q's position is a bit biased." I'm not sure what you're saying here. I have read where the ETSI has asked Qualcomm what their intentions are vis-a-vis W-CDMA and Qualcomms IPRs. Qualcomm has said they will not license a standard that is not backward compatible with IS-95 and other standards. Biased? If their claims of infringement are valid? As a shareholder I would hope so! Yes, I suppose in the end whether or not a standard infringes IPR could be decided in the courts. Ericsson has stated that the standard doesn't infringe Qualcomms IPRs. So we shall see what we will see. If there is a Dec 31 deadline then the next few months should be very interesting. W.
