>>I can't recall when Nokia was hit by one.<<

They usually do not make it into a public forum.

>>the Korean companies would not be involved in developing W-CDMA products right now if they did not feel that this could be an escape hatch from inordinately high IPR costs.<<

Let me give you another business lesson:

An idea is hatched to go into a particular business segment. Then a business plan is put together together that analyzes the new business that includes the sales projection and cost of sales. Within the cost of sales is the line for "royalties and fees". If the business plan doesn't look good from a profit point of view, you don't go into the business. I for the life of me can't figure out the following:

1) Why a business would become concerned after entering a business about fees?
2) Why a business would enter into a business that has no future (according to you)?
