---> option -- to extend the present agreement with the same terms -- expires year-end 2008

So do you see that meaning that Nokia can infringe after April, force Qualcomm into all sorts of legal wrangling and then just turn around and extend once it becomes obvious that matters are not going to go there way?

That would be a free "get-of-jail" card !!!

I don't recall anyone coming up with a plausible explanation of why Qualcomm might have agreed to such an option. I certainly don't have one.

Absolutely agree....and it brings up some ugly questions about the strength of Qualcomm's bargaining position. The only way they should have agreed to this in '01 is if they were substantially weaker than any of us ever imagined.
