Steve Altman on Nokia Brihack << Eric, ... If I recall correctly, Steve Altman suggested that Nokia had not been able to gain any significant traction with its licensing efforts. Since you seem to follow Nokia very closely (and I don't follow it at all), do you have any better info on Nokia's licensing results? >> No. Nokia has an active licensing program, and has had one for some time, but they do not have a strict IPR business model and they respect the confidentiality of their licensees. I also seriously doubt that QUALCOMM's President, "the chief architect of the Company's strategy for leveraging its broad intellectual property portfolio into a value chain, which has accelerated the growth of CDMA technology" who has become increasingly less visible of late (which I personally think is very QUALCOMM positive) has less visibility than he implies on Nokia's licensing activities. Best, - Eric -
