MileHigh, I will respond, altho no engineer or lawyer yes, yes, yes, QCOM will receive royalties on CDMA chips produced by licensed mfrs... exceptions to the rule are the Chinese Army corporations, who fortunately might not be capable of handling the manufacture complexity... any company from a country calling itself a member of the community of nations, honoring internatl laws, should pay the tolltaker... my personal experience leads me to conclude that violations tend to come from communist lands and former communist lands, like China, Russia, Bulgaria... if memory serves correct, Japan is not a stellar enforcer of patent royalty payments??? the arranged payment rate for royalties depends upon an international agreement pertaining to production volume and other factors like age of agreement itself (see Motorola) are you named MileHigh for Denver roots? or are you a member of that exalted Club? / jim
