I am curious, if the subtext of all this legal wrangling between MOT and QCOM is the royalty "disconnect", then the question seems to be: How valid are MOT's claims to legacy (read "low") rates? Do royalties negotiated for old ASIC versions apply equally to new versions, or new QCOM IPR patented subsequent to the royalty agreement? Obviously, MOT wants to pay as little as possible. Obviously, QCOM wants MOT to pay a "market rate". But: who is in the right, from a legal perspective?
