"QCOM needs to set a date like April 18 to cut off negotiations and file any other litigations, otherwise every day is a victory for Nokia, and just what they want." My impression is that Nokia did not actually remit a $20 million royalty payment for calendar 2Q07, but merely said they would. So I'm wondering ... is there really actionable infringement based on statements of intent? Doesn't Qualcomm have to wait until a payment due date has passed for which there is either no payment or maybe at least the receipt of underpayment?

If NOK continues to use Q ipr without paying royalties during these "ongoing negotiations", there should be some serious consideration given to filing a class action suit against NOK on behalf of Q investors. Maybe NOK would think it rather more prudent to pay for the pleasure of using Q ipr than risk paying that and more to stockholders that have certainly been injured by this little game they play (for yrs and yrs and yrs) called stalling. I'm no lawyer......but that is how I feel about it.
