But so what! Why? Because BRCM needs a license? What about the rest of the cases? The ones that matter. Are you confident things are going swimmingly in them? It's what this case says about Q's tactics that has me concerned. In its litigation with BRCM, so far Q has been found to infringe and to engage in patent ambush. The GSM cases against NOK suffer from the same ambush malady. Despite having been issued patents in the mid to late '90s, Q didn't declare the bulk of them until 2004. That's meat for the lions. Some kind of negotiating advantage it will gain at an unholy expense, all aided by today's precedent.
