The person who answered the question was told to use "relevant" precisely because it is not a legal term. No company wants some low-level investor relations "flunkie", who is not qualified on such technical matters, to make admissions that could be used against you in patent litigation. As a prior post stated, it is ludicrous to try to rely on what somebody says over the phone as to the question of how many essential patents Qcom may have with respect to W-CDMA. The only true test is the number and identity of patents asserted to be essential in a filing with the ITU, and ultimately what a court may determine. As previously posted, I would be concerned if IR actually did answer the question.
