JG - I think its as I expected. Business as usual. Handsets being sold, chips being made get up go to work, come home play with the kids and go to bed etc. I think we have:- NOK you are using our w-cdma patents so pay up and NOK you are using our GSM,GPRS andEDGE patents so pay up and NOK we are taking you to arbitration to see if we still have a valid agreement and Q we don't owe you a thing becuase your w-cdma patents are paid up and Q you are ?????.....(are there more NOK ones) I've lost track and San Diego ...forgotten what thats about and is there something in France.....? anything else other than the EU complaint and the Korean complaint.. I'm not sure there is anything that isn't covered in some cases twice over so my guess is no more law suits needed. July brings the London case. The loser appeals and that is probably another year to eighteen months with no delays and there will be delays. And if they are given consent the loser of the appeal gets to go to the higher court and then the European court. Four to five years minimum. So thats the end of the LOndon case. Same for the German and Dutch cases whenever they get to court. US cases? You must have a good feel for those. Arbitration? A year without delays? And so as I say business as usual and now take a look at those March Japanese handset sales numbers, they are pretty good. I'd say fabulous. All either W-cdma or cdma2000ixevdo. Does the heart good. Best, L

JG, QUALCOMM is going to have to apply for an urgent injunction on behalf of Motorola and other American companies, and on behalf of Uncle Sam who is being robbed by Nokia as Nokia is cutting off QCOM profits, which are paid in large part to Uncle Sam. Many thousands of QCOM employees will have their income cut too, stock options down the gurgler for a start, so their tax payments to Uncle Sam will be cut. QUALCOMM should immediately move the Supreme Court and the Executive Branch with Congressional backing to ban all Nokia products from the USA and for the USA to freeze and confiscate all Nokia assets until normal royalties are paid, including back amounts and a penalty for bloody-mindedness. The Supreme Court should not leave $20 on the counter, or even $5. QUALCOMM can't continue in business, unable to use Nokia intellectual property, if Nokia is wantonly, brazenly and ridiculously, using QUALCOMM property. Not only is Nokia not paying the royalties, but QUALCOMM will be missing out on their own sales. I really hope QUALCOMM isn't just carrying on as usual, doing the same as Nokia and just using Nokia's property without paying. As they say, two wrongs don't make a right, but they do get the two naughty boys whipped in the wood shed. QUALCOMM says they don't need Nokia's intellectual property. That seems very unlikely given all the patent counting. If QUALCOMM is simply lying about that, woe is us. Dirty, filthy hands are NOT allowed in courtrooms. Not for long anyway and they get a damn good washing if they show up. Forget about Iran and Iraq. There's a more serious problem in Espoo. Mqurice
