((("Message #11659 from q_long at Jun 6, 2000 4:03 PM ET
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.")))

Royalty amounts are not an issue decided in courts. IP disputes, however, would be.

QCOM negotiates its royalty. If others don't like the amount, they can engineer their systems without using QCOM's IP.

Remember, QCOM can do CDMA without their patents. The opposite is not the case.

If the company making products designed for WCDMA uses any QCOM proprietary technology and does any business in the U.S., and particularly if the company does any business in California, guess where a complaint might be brought.
