Go here: uspto.gov The green field is for patents awarded, the yellow is for published applications. Click on the "quick search" function for both. I inserted MIMO or OFDM as the search term in all fields in both the applications and awarded portions with Qualcomm [or other firm] in the second field as assignee. I have correctred a few mistakes I made in the original post; I think [you get what you pay for around here] it is now correct. I did not do OFDM searches for the non-Q firms because the Nesbitt report suggests that Q's IPR strength lay in MIMO, this appears to be the case. The OFDM search for Q's applications was done for fun. However, Q has been assigned 18 patents which refer to OFDM in some way. patft.uspto.gov By the way, Intel has been assigned in fact only three MIMO-related patents; the link I have in the original message suggests 8, which is incorrect. See: patft.uspto.gov Again, the number of patents obviously don't mean much. Nonetheless, we can see some corroboration of the Nesbitt note and Paul Jacobs' statements in the filings.
