((("Message #11682 from carranza2 at Jun 6, 2000 5:33 PM ET I asked the question previously here, hoping that the patent law experts would answer. The question is whether the Q could stop the rollout of WCDMA or whether it would be required to establish its damages from an unauthorized rollout. Got some interesting responses-yes, no, maybe. But none from any one who appeared to be knowledgeable in the vagaries of patent law. I think that litigation is where the WCDMA issue is going. If time and its own inherent problems don't derail it."))) At the very least, ongoing litigation will make Telcos reluctant to invest the billions required to build out a (W)CDMA system (provided, of course, they're successful in making one work). regards, blg
