No its not. The use of Nokia's IPR by QCOM royalty free was a point negotiated and agreed by the parties in the current license agreement. Nokia has an option to renew the license on its current terms. If they continue to use QCOM IPR, QCOM hasd every right to continue to use Nokia IPR royalty free. I am sure that is the point that Q will attempt to make before the arbitrator. However, as I said, this means that Nokia was actually in a worse position than if they hadnt negotiated the option. I very much doubt that an arbitrator is going to agree with it unless it was written into the contract. You are welcome to disagree. Slacker
