What evidence can you cite that this is a pattern? When Broadcom first started this whole process with Qualcomm some of the lawyers in this group brought up several previous Broadcom lawsuits which they had initiated and then lost badly enough to have to have to pay the other party's legal fees. With a little research (which I did more than 1 year ago so my memory of specifics is weak) it is apparent that they routinely overplay their hand. The fact is that the QCOM issue was QCOM's to lose - which they did very handily because, as PJ stated, they suffered from monofocus (on Nokia). FWIW One of the great strengths of IJ (vs PJ) is not getting emotionally involved. Emotional involvement results in exactly this kind of very dangerous monofocus. PS - A telling story about IJ's not getting emotionally involved is his reaction to Jacob's Patter (the title itself begs for emotional involvement). But IJ took the high ground - which was to refuse to engage at that level but instead decide to prove them wrong by accomplishment (over the years) vs rhetoric. Clark
