Nokia is disappointed Qualcomm has taken this step given they have yet to engage in any licensing negotiations concerning these matters. With respect to the patents alleged to be essential to the GSM/GPRS/EDGE standards, Qualcomm has a duty to license those patents on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms. Qualcomm has not provided Nokia with any proposed terms for a license in compliance with its obligations. NOK sounds pretty pathetic. It is of course (probably??) the responsibility of the party that wants to use the license to request a license from the patent holder, not vice versa! QCOM should issue a public press release today that they will gladly accept a retroactive 3% license of retail price of end product sold for their usage GSM patents, and request payment on the previous 10 years on NOK GSM product!
