Ericsson and Motorola have NOT agreed to pay royalties on W-CDMA and are as adament as Nokia that their IPR contribution to the standard is as valuable as QCOMs. Both (and Nokia BTW) have signed agreements to license CDMA-One and 1XRTT, technologies for which there is no longer any dispute as to QCOM's IPR. With regards to handsets....Ericsson HAS agreed to pay royalties to Qualcomm. Would you like to clarify the statement? Message 11789984 I agree on MOT.... Slacker

Ericsson and Motorola have NOT agreed to pay royalties on W-CDMA and are as adament as Nokia that their IPR contribution to the standard is as valuable as QCOMs. Hmm....sounds like this!!! "Ericsson has found no reason to believe that ETSI's present WCDMA standard would infringe upon any valid IPR's claimed by Qualcomm." Guess what happened!! Date: Thursday, September 3 1998 Clarification of statement in Nikkei Newspaper Clarification regarding a statement by Ericsson CEO Sven-Christer Nilsson that was incorrectly represented in an interview published in Nikkei Newspaper, Japan. In response to a question about whether Ericsson is willing to pay royalties to the American company Qualcomm, Sven-Christer Nilsson stated that Ericsson always is prepared to pay compensation for valid intellectual property rights based on reasonable terms and that, similarly, Ericsson expects respect and compensation for its IPRïs. Sven-Christer Nilsson is an optimist and therefore hopes that Ericsson can reach an amicable solution both for the standards and the IPR issue in further talks. This clarification should be seen in the light of the fact that, despite thorough investigation, Ericsson has found no reason to believe that ETSI's present WCDMA standard would infringe upon any valid IPR's claimed by Qualcomm. Ericssonïs 100,000 employees are active in more than 130 countries. Their combined expertise in fixed and mobile networks, mobile phones and infocom systems makes Ericsson a world-leading supplier in telecommunications.

1. Ericsson and Motorola have NOT agreed to pay royalties on W-CDMA and are as adament as Nokia that their IPR contribution to the standard is as valuable as QCOMs. "Staying on the other, 3G, and in particular W-CDMA, major companies, Lucent, Ericsson, Nortel, Samsung, Philips, and a number of others are licensed today to do W-CDMA or DS CDMA, the mode of the ITU standard, proposed standard. And these license agreements require that these companies pay us royalties. And it's the same royalty, whether they sell products for CDMAone, whether they sell the products for MC CDMA, or whether they sell it for DS CDMA. " Message 12931020
