Since royalties are based on the wholsale price of the entire phone wouldn't it be more likely that Samsung would pay 5.75% on the whole 300 and then QCT would pay QTL out of the 5.57% royalty of 17.25. I am almost positive that Qualcomm has previously acknowledged a small discount on royalties for QCT chipset customers. They just never set out the mechanism or size of the discount. The Broadcom complaint gives some details about this "discount" and at least for me, provides a very believable scenario. Page 35.... broadcom.com Slacker
