"You should NOT be able to invent"? Really? You can easily invent as many CDMAs as you like and you can incorporate all the technology of the others as well. That is correct behaviour de facto and de juro. UNLESS there is a court tested patent that you can't go around.

So is there? I don't know, yet. But "proof" like "they claimed that hostage...etc..etc..)is BS when weighted against ERICY's official message, which is crystal clear.

Is this important? Let me only say that should I fully believe one day that Q has no valid patents over WCDMA, I would be off this thread for good (for you guys, something to look forward to).
