Al, the following is a response from the shy guy. Re: "Evaluation is a toughy. Why patent attorneys get the big bucks, and certainly no one can expect a poster on this thread to exhaustively research the entire topic gratis.. " The renewed focus on NOK or IDC's cdma IPR position is starting to get comical. Someone we all know HAS exhaustively researched this topic, including very expensive commissioning of research from numerous independent patent counsel, AND HAS provided the results to the thread gratis, I might add. His name is Gregg Powers and one has only to go back and look at the conclusions that were debated ad nauseum on the thread less than two years ago. Bottom line then, as now, remains "there is no way anyone can implement a mobile cdma system without infringing on Qualcomm's essential IPR." As Gregg also liked to point out, there is also the small matter of the countless hours of patent research that was no doubt performed for or by each of the 75+ licensees, and the obvious conclusion each of them reached. Where is line forming to license VW-40 from NOK and IDC? Ericsson obviously saw a better way, and so have MOT and others. Such nonsense. The Shy Guy
