<<The truth is that Cisco lags 3Com in patent registration, what makes this more interesting is that 3Com's R&D budget is only a fraction of Cisco's.>>

My take would be not all patents are equal. It would be interesting to be able to really compare the value of the patents 3Com and Cisco have. 3Com may have more in quantity, but do they have more in quality?
