This is in line with my post of the other day. I believe that unless there is exportation of TD-SCDMA (which is highly unlikely) Qualcomm is without a remedy if its intellectual property is stolen. The one piece of leverage that it may have is if Siemens, or some other Chinese partner with whom Q has a licensing agreement, is involved and Q can bring some action against the partner.

Dosen't TD-SCDMA run like a Yugo? Why bother with trying to collect on something that is destined for the trash heap? How do you make a Yugo go faster? A towtruck. What do you call the shock absorbers inside a Yugo? Passengers. Two guys in a Yugo were arrested last night in Oakland following a push-by shooting incident. The new Yugo has an air bag. When you sense an impending accident, start pumping real fast. A friend went to a dealer the other day and said, "I'd like a gas cap for my Yugo." The dealer replied, "Okay. Sounds like a fair trade." I have also said for years that the car is named because "Yugo, but it doesn't". How can you get a Yugo to do 60 miles an hour? Push it over a cliff.

Jing Wang also pointed out that there are already 75 companies authorized by Qualcomm to develop TD-SCDMA equipment, but does not include ZTE and Huawei. Jing Wang would not predict when the mainland would release 3G licenses, and said the mainland's policy is not clear, so Qualcomm has not figured 3G into the performance of the company next year factors, but he said that the licensing would have a positive impact. As the 3G technology based on CDMA technology, Qualcomm's technology. each 3G mobile phone to pay Qualcomm royalties, the costs of not more than 5% of the ex-factory price. Jing Wang said yesterday that if the TD-SCDMA mobile phones sold in the market, will also model the charges. At present, the market for high-pass [ed: always liked that one] turnover of 17% [?], and the entire Asia-Pacific region accounted for two-thirds. (Liu Ye) tinyurl.com -------------------------------------- Sina Tech reported: Yang Hua, Secretary general of TD-SCDMA Industry Alliance (TDIA) reacted to Qualcomm’s TD-SCDMA royalty claim. He said, core TD-SCDMA IPR is in the hand of TDIA member organizations instead of foreign companies. TDIA welcome any foreign organizations to claim IPR. But so far Qualcomm had not contacted or negotiated with TDIA about the IPR issues. tdscdma-forum.org [ed: TDIA is low on the totem pole. Sina Tech said elsewhere "Their [Q's] purpose is obviously a "warning" for research and development in China TD-SCDMA equipment businesses." Also "The reporter then called Huawei headquarters of the relevant parties, she TD that Huawei's equipment in the production tripod Bridge, Ding not determine whether the bridge had been authorized. Bridge and Ting said that the relevant parties to the authorization is not very clear, when this reporter to confirm whether Qualcomm bridge with a tripod cooperation agreement, Li Cheng snow have not heard of the enterprise." ... which sounds maybe like a multimode phone. And so on.]
