Limtex, you are creating a straw man. Nokia does not claim to have worked around Qualcomm`s patents. That was what they hoped to do when WCDMA was being standardized, but it was impossible. Contrarily, they concede the essentiality of Qualcomm`s IPR, but claim they have more patents now that deserve commercial credit in any new cross-license. Unfortunately for them, with HSDPA/HSUPA, which arose from Qualcomm`s HDR research and patents, Qualcomm`s portfolio has also grown substantially in size and significance.

"1. Although NOK signed a license for W-CDMA a few years ago the position has now changedas MOK has developed a work-around of Q's patents" How do you have a work-around within a CDMA standard? I have always thought of the original work-around as using some other technology to achieve similar results. A WIMAX/GSM phone might be considered a work-around capability wise but how do you continue to make WCDMA phones and say you have worked around anything?
