I think I did say that I don't believe an individual has any standing to raise such things.

I hope QUALCOMM doesn't get really dirty hands starting today, because courts seem to think the pot calling the kettle black is not acceptable. Courts don't want to sit in judgment between two [or more] crooks looking for an angle via civilisation. Dirty hands or filthy hands are not acceptable in court. They even dislike people dressed in a less than legalistic way. QUALCOMM assuredly needs Nokia's patents for W-CDMA if we believe even part of Nokia's patent counting portfolio. That was the whole point of VW-40. Yet QUALCOMM claims they don't need Nokia patents. Which seems odd. Perhaps I misread the quote from QUALCOMM. Ridiculous claims won't be looked on favourably if they are simply self-serving falsehoods like Nokia's. Maybe Nokia has a few non-essential patents which should be removed too. QUALCOMM should never have agreed to allow their patents to be used in that ridiculous VW-40 WMD MAD 2GHz programme which has been a huge and costly failure. 12% royalties for something which does less than 5% CDMA EV-DORA is ridiculous, and wait until DORB is running, turbocharged with Flarion OFDM and blended with wi-fi in 802.11n form in Anita [TM] umpty-functional cyberphones with long life batteries.

"today QUALCOMM has no license for Nokia's GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA, or CDMA, esential and implementation IPR" My goodness, it is certainly a good thing that they don't use Nokia's IPR. Do you happen to know if Nokia uses any of QCOM's IPR? j.
