Also, if you were Hitachi and you were about to enter into such a licensing deal with Q, wouldn't you send out feelers to NOK, IDC or whoever to get the lowdown on whether there really was any possibility of bypassing Q's IPR? Wouldn't you think that some engineer at Hitachi would know some engineer at NOK? The fact that a company of the size and stature of Hitachi is signing such an agreement suggests that they found out there is no real possibility of this happening. Just speculation, of course.
