What constitutes a "dominant position", for purposes of EU Article 82?
A 10% baseband share is hardly "dominant"; in fact, it is borderline insignificant. As for the IPR side, Nokia`s self-funded "research" suggests that Qualcomm`s position in WCDMA is not "dominant", as well. Why did Ericsson capitulate on the eve of trial, and agree to the settlement terms of cross-licensure/purchase of the infrastructure division, and the rest of the majors sign contracts without litigation?

Article 82 defines a dominant firm as a company occupying more than 40% of the relevant market.

Last I checked Q was no where near 40% of the UMTS Mkt.

NOK IS SO FULL OF BS. They aren't gonna buy Qcom chips anyway, so what are they complaining about? NOK charges 16% for GSM royalties and now complains about 4.5%. What a joke!
