Gregg: Welcome back! I will take back the 5% royalty rate. I read that here on the thread. All patents are defensible. All it takes is a few attorneys and a courtroom. Why should the Q reduce the X% royalty rate? As a show of good faith in negotiations. If, as the evidence suggests, QC's IPR position can block ERICY's promulgation of a W-CDMA standard through the ITU, then it is Ericsson, not Qualcomm, that has the major business issue. Please show me the court case where QC's IPR was proven to cover the W-CDMA case. There isn't anything. Ericsson has also stated that they have the necessary IPR. Oh yeah, see my post about the rake receiver? Ericy has 19 patents, the Q only 15. You suggest that IS-95 "has no support", yet it is being deployed in over thirty countries How many MORE countries is TDMA/GSM in Gregg? Going from 1% market share to 2% market share is 100% growth, however you only have 2% market share. Isn't TDMA/GSM market base 100 Million people?(I am not sure on this fact, I think Tero spouted it off) Well, thank you for the counselor in training comment. However, the Q is in an interesting predicament. How about a patent no. Gregg? The Q is not in the strongest position. Just b/c their patents don't mention high bandwidth applications doesn't mean they are enabling for high bandwidth. dave
