Probably yes. Everyone in the industry infringes all over each others IPR constantly, and everyone knows it. It is sort of like mutually assured destruction keeping them from pulling the trigger first, and claiming infringement. Likewise Intel is almost certainly infringing AMD and TI, etc, and vice versa. I would think qualcomm has probably used some nokia gsm ipr, and nokia has used qualcomm ipr for years for gprs and edge, and it would have gone on this way indefinately if nokia hadnt reached for their holster first.
