If QCOM doesnt enforce all of their patents, then why enforce some of them? As a shareholder who paid R &D $ to QCOM, shouldnt we expect that QCOM enforce these patents? Because it is counterproductive to do so. If everyone enforced every patent that applied everywhere the industrial world would, literally, shut down. Including Qualcomm. I guarantee that there are people who have IP that Qualcomm infringes. They just choose not to enforce it because it isn't worth it. Clark
