What do we want to come out of this case? We want (in the cases involving both Nokia and Broadcom) the courts to recognize, on the basis of QUALCOMM's prior art, that the patents in dispute rely on that prior art and are therefore either invalid or if valid, the patent owners must still pay royalties to QCOM. And these royalties would be owed until the QCOM patents expire. As to actual damages, it remains to be seen whether QCOM can prove any intentional infringement, in which case QCOM gets not only the unpaid royalties but treble damages. Art
