>Hey smart boy, do a pattent search, and see whom and >whom dont have WCDMA patents. You are by far the >biggest dimwit I have met on SI. Good luck you will >need it. Don´t you have anything positive to say, marginalmike? You remind me of our common friend Engineer who used to get very irate after someone showed him the light. His eyes were bulging bright red below the engineer´s hat he wore when writing. He lost concentration and had lots of spelling errors. Judging by his mails he was irate a lot. What sort of "pattent search" are you talking about? Patent does not have to be attached to a system technology, i.e. you can have a jap patent utilized in TVs that may apply to WCDMA. Whether they actually apply or not is decided, if necessary, in courts. Then we have the submarine patents, but it would require some basic conceptual thinking skills for you to understand the term. Thus you can´t do a search how many patents anyone has on WCDMA. If there are any other ways I could be of help just let me know. - rajala

margin: (aka dumb boy) see my previous post Reply #89687, Date: December 9, 2000 4:05 PM First, name calling is childish; but if you cant beat em join. You are christened. Second, there are virtually no issued patents in the US that use the word "WCDMA" especially compared with patents on CDMA or related technology.(Hundreds could be pending of course and we will not know for two or more years). Out of curiosity, I did the above search to see just how "innovative" WCDMA might be. (see for yourself at www.uspto.gov) Of course this is not conclusive, but gives an idea that WCDMA is not as hot as others make it out to me. Less than 10 patents even mention the word WCDMA. If I had the choice (and I do) I would not bet too much on WCDMA being much of an influence in the IPR world.
