Dave the other point you keep ovelooking is that circumventing patents by re-engineering technology is not that easy. I agree that patents are far from bulletproof. However It will cost a lot more (IMHO) to do so then to liscence the technology. When ERICY decides to rework technology, it will cost money and take time. In that same time CDMA2000 will be rolled out. The other two points that make this argument silly is that the US government will get involved. This is not just a patent issue, but a trade issue. Qualcomm has way to much clout in Washington to be pushed aside. It is clear on a factual basis
that Qualcomm developed this technology, if they are denied their rights the US government will respond. They have already hinted at this to push a compromise. The last and most important point is the fact that ETSI has already stated, and asked Qualcomm for use of their IPR's Though you dangle your wit, and sarcasm, as well as your patent office experience you do not answer the question.
It seems to me that you are more interested in touting your expertise then adressing that point. I would also add that, though you have been quite informative in this area, you are not a Patent lawyer, nor have you investigated these patents in depth. As Greg has done this(I have also had a patent attourney investigate) he is in a better position to make a judgment. We also know who he is, and can look into his credibility. On the other hand you refuse to reveal your identity? I would be more inclined to trust Gregg's opinion. He also has alot more to lose if hes wrong!
