From your Neopoint link... We believe that CDMA technology is proprietary to and available only from QUALCOMM. w molloy, if CDMA technology is indeed proprietary to and available only from QCOM, then why are there limitations in the agreement in regards to IDCC's patents? Seems to me that the technology being proprietary and the limitations of QCOM to license the technology (based on the '94 agreement with IDCC) are contradictory. Furthermore, the belief as quoted above is the position of Neopoint, the licensee. I am sure Neopoint's beliefs as to whether or not IDCC holds essential IPR in extended applications of CDMA (i.e., CDMA2000) are not helpful in discrediting IDCC's claim that they do. Why don't you call QCOM investor relations for their take? I have. They won't answer my questions directly.
