You might already read this. Message 16027011 I sent an email to QCOM IR this morning to get additional details re: cross-licensing. Julie Cunningham sent this response back. At 10:28 AM 7/3/2001 -0400, you wrote: Julie, Does the cross-licensing of multi-mode integrated circuits <mentioned in the NOKIA press release> include GSM/EDGE ipr? QCOM RESPONSE <<For the purposes of multi-mode chip designs, QUALCOMM gains access to all of Nokia's patents.>> If so, does this mean SPINCO will not happen? QCOM response <<We continue to proceed with the semiconductor spin-off.>> Could you please be more specific for me re: the cross-licensing with NOKIA and exactly what this includes? QCOM response <<It includes all flavors of 2G and 3G CDMA (IS-95A, IS-95B, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, etc.) The royalty rate is the same regardless of which flavor of CDMA is deployed.>> Many thanks and great NEWS on the Nokia Infrastructure license!! QCOM response <<Thank you, we think this agreement is very positive for both Nokia and QUALCOMM.>>

Carranza, every word has a meaning in text like this?? Like these two: infrastructure equipment The text clearly states the dependency (cutting some descriptive terms, which has the meaning of regular BS.) - Under the terms of the [] expansion - Nokia has also been granted a - royalty-bearing license under - Qualcomm's patents - to make and sell infrastructure equipment - for all CDMA wireless systems while - Qualcomm is granted rights under Nokia's - CDMA-related and - other patents - to market and sell CDMA components, - including multi-mode integrated circuits. to parse the rest As part of the agreement, - Nokia will continue to pay royalties [] - for subscriber equipment (not infra in this case) - at the same rates established by the terms of - the original cross-license agreement in 1992, - irrespective of the CDMA standard implemented. Ilmarinen. Note also that Nokia got what it always have claimed, that the old agreement covers WCDMA for handsets. Note that Q still must continue spinning while Nokia has green light for everything.

carranza, << In my opinion >> Always interested in your opinion. << The wars are over. >> I thought they were supposed to be over in June 1999. << No more Nordic FUD >> How about San Diego FUD? Merrill Lynch raises near-term rating to ACCUMULATE from Neutral based on this morning's announcement that Nokia and QCOM had expanded their CDMA cross-license. Firm had argued that Nokia was in no rush to sign this agreement until it would be necessary to support wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) deployment. Merrill now believes that this agreement suggests that Nokia sees wideband CDMA as imminent. Imminent? Pass the smoked-salmon please ... I am flushed with success. - Eric -
