"Nokia has admitted to using Q's GSM/GPRS/EDGE IPR"

There is no way to implement GSM or WCDMA standards without infringing both Nokia and Q patents. Regardless of if it is admitted or not. Their IPR is built so deep into the standards. Not admitting it is in that sense only delay tactics. At the end it can be proven in courts anyway.

My understanding was that when advised of the GPRS / EDGE infringement suit by QCOM, Nokia's reply was that they thought the right to use QCOM's GPRS / EDGE IPR was included in the existing licensing agreement. Upon closer examination, it specifically says that Nokia can use QCOM'S GPRS / EDGE IPR "only in multimode GSM/GPRS/EDGE/W-CDMA devices, (i.e. where QCOM would earn a royalty anyway).
