What court or entity will decide how much royalties QCOM will get on WCDMA. Will the decision be made in a San Diego court or a European court. Seems like the outcome could vary.

No doubt that the W-CDMA crowd is painting the issue to appear as if Q is just another contriubtor to the big, happy, W-CDMA IPR pool. And no doubt that Q does have the critical IPR to collect substantial royalties.

My question is, assuming a substantial portion of the world uses W-CDMA for 3g, is there other IPR Q would have to license to produce W-CDMA chips? (In effect providing a lower net royalty stream.)
