OK, you are right, the case is not over, we haven't seen the real deal, etc., but nonetheless let me leave you with this: Richardson's statement is that there are "fundamental" differences between Q's process and the one BRCM advocates. This is very strong language to use, language which I think is very hard to avoid.

Like I said, I am often wrong. My wife would add, "but never in doubt."

"only incompetence could explain Qualcomm being unaware of their expert`s writings on point"

Surely Dr. Lee will have an opportunity to reconcile his thoughts in front of the jury: he seems to be saying that the BRCM uses the method described in the QCOM patent but there is some "fundamental" difference between some aspect of the QCOM method and some aspect of the standard. It might be that the standard uses QCOM's patents for part of the task but adds and combines other methods for other parts. Q's property has still been crossed; the company still has to be compensated.

I should say that that I once served jury duty and that I have made several appearances in traffic court, all to no avail. I'm sure you guys were wondering.
