Rajala, that still leaves a couple questions unanswered.

1. Why the offer to trade patents? Or the implied offer to pay "low" royalties?

Is this because ERICY has a big heart? They think Dr. Jacobs is a swell guy?

2. Why does nearly every statement regarding W-CDMA contain a denial that Q IPR is infringed?

3. Why is Q being harassed and pressured to give up the IPR (for "reasonable" royalties) if no one really thinks it is needed for W-CDMA anyway?

I see what you're saying in that E would need to make some kind of statement regarding Q's IPR involvement - denying it. But if they really felt their position was that strong, wouldn't they just deny it and move on? Why engage in the argument at all if you feel their is no argument?
