The case for Q couldn't have been said better, even though the_rich_janitor's posts dealt with his views of IDCC. The three key patents without which no flavor of CDMA can exist to which t_r_j refers re the spread spectrum, power control, and soft handoff patents. I would probably add a fourth, the pilot signal patent. It's really that simple, at least from the royalty and licensing standpoint. The rest of the Q story of course involves ASICs manufacturing, a field in which it will lead, and the peripheral businesses like Eudora, Omnitracs, digital cinema, etc. The market is missing the boat on the Q in a big way. This is an opportunity to re-live 1999 for those of you who missed it then.

Everybody must read carranza2´s posting ...there is an excellent description of the basics how patents work. Never seen better, the_rich_janitor seems to know his stuff (he´s a Q long also but that just proves nobody is perfect). Thanks carranza2 for an excellent posting. - rajala
