I want to thank Michael for the MOT example. Michael, one of the patent numbers was a patent for a vibrating "low profile" pager and was filed in 1992. Although integrated mobile phones/pagers are well known, MOT still did not receive thebroad coverage on phones. However, interpretting their claims wrt the Q's arguments, MOT should receive broad coverage on the invention of a vibrating pager combined with a mobile phone.

Have you passed the bar yet? If you have I want to hire you to represent me next time I am in court, you have a flair for twisting the facts to support the unsupportable. You are right combination mobile phones/pagers are a well worn phenomenon. Until now the pager and the phone have been separate entities mashed into the same case (sometimes the pager is actually in the battery). Now here is IS-95 where one of the channels available to the phone is... The paging channel. Generally it is used for traffic from the base to the mobile, but there is nothing that says that the traffic cannot be a text message!

To summarize I believe that I gave you that patent because it was one of the ones that they were claiming infringement on. HOWEVER, in this case there is no pager, the paging capability is built into the system. I am sure that one of the arguments that they and you will use is that the definition of "pager" is not there, but in reality pagers have only a limited 2 way communication base, definately not what this phone system has!
