OK, I missed the points you were discussing. But, I am looking for any evidence of record contradicting my belief that QCOM disclosed and licensed its IPR specifying to be used for WCDMA only, not GPRS/EDGE.

In the case of MPEG, I think the judge was biased ignoring the fact QCOM was not the member till later time when it became a member and disclosed related patents. There is no evidence that QCOM knew JVT was using its IPR for standard during the period of non membership. It is the simple assumption that QCOM is supposed to know it and and hide it. Suppose that this assumption is not false and supported by some direct or indirect evidence, what base in the law would give the court constitute waver? Why is there no law or standard that requires SSO to identify and notify the owner of patent being considered for adoption, for all fairness. QCOM should appeal and put the record straight.

There is antipathy to patent ambush. However, I think it is more directed towards those companies that do not invent anything but basically buy a group of patents and then litigate as opposed to those who actually invent them.
