Jim, you wrote <<Does this suggest that the Q’s royalty rate proposed to NOK in the license extension position is actually higher that the current contracted rate???????>>.
I for one believe that the current royalty rate being offered to Nokia by Qualcomm is their standard rate but importantly this standard rate, from a negotiating point of view, applies to 3g devices and the GSM/GPRS/EDGE patents currently being infringed upon by Nokia for their use in Nokia non 3G handsets. In effect the same rate applied to 2, 2.5 and 3g Nokia handsets!

No, "exact same terms" per Steve Altman.

>>This appears to support the “theory” that the Q wouldn’t mind the injunction to being considered / imposed, again perhaps “setting the stage” for such to be imposed against NOK.<<

IF QCOM is that smart then we will have to eat a lot of legal bashing crow from the last couple of months, but it certainly does look like a possible strategy.
