Yes. Indeed, call me names because I don't want to re-invent the wheel. If someone has already analyzed QCOM's patents, why would Malcolm or I want to spend time doing that again? The question Malcolm originally posed still have not been answered. But don't stoop lower to the level of name calling. saukriver

Nothing's been avoided. Since any answer to my question would have to include dates and I could not find anything mentioning dates in the web site you kindly posted, I have to conclude that you also don't know the answer to my question, which to repeat is when will QCOM's most valuable patents expire? If you did know you wouldn't avoid saying.

Seems to me you want easy, free, sound-bite answers to your questions Of course. That's what everybody wants. And if "easy, free, sound-bite answers" are unavalaible for QCOM then QCOM as a stock will have difficulty achieving its "true" value. Most investors are not particularly astute, but they are exactly the audience you need to reach for a stock to achieve its ultimate potential. Fact of life: you cannot hype (in a non-pejorative sense) a stock that cannot be summarized in a "sound-bite". "Seems to me you're too lazy to learn what you own" That's not the issue. You don't own this stock for the sake of owning it, you own it because at some point you expect to sell it for a very nice profit. And if you can't provide "sound-bite" answers to some fairly basic questions, then who, exactly, do you expect to be buying the stock you will, ultimately, be selling?
