Gregg a recent article on the front cover of Wireless Week speaks to the European patent Office revoking a QUALCOMM interim standard-95 CDMA patent.The article claims revocation in early December of the patent based on Motorola Inc.'s claim that it is a prior holder of the patent for code division multiple access technology. The article contains remarks about QUALCOMM and its claims of being the inventor of CDMA.QUALCOMM did not respond to Wireless Weeks request for comments on this issue.The question is how will this effect the upcoming ITU decision as well as future claims about QUALCOMM CDMA patents as essential for IS-95? I respect your monumental effort to the patent situation as concerns QUALCOMM's patents and there position as essential.I am puzzled however about this development in Europe while remaining cautious about Ericsson's ability to influence European policy in there favor and spread negative propaganda.The article quotes an Ericsson public affairs person as stating "If I were QUALCOMM,I would be a little concerned about being the inventor of CDMA".This really gets my blood boiling as I am sure it dose alot of people on this thread.What is your take on all of this? The patent that was revoked is US patent number 4,901,307.I would appreciate any input on what this particular patent is used for in the make up of IS-95.
