<<The design may be based on older QCOM patents that have expired. But the product using older designs or older style chipsets will still have to compete with more recent QCOM patents>> Couldn't agree with you more. Exactly my point. Except, you forgot the infringement aspect. Compete is one thing, but how to do it without infringement is another. Don't forget that Q's IPR portfolio is many times over the original 4 basic patents. Are they essential?? Yep, you betchum Red Rider.
