let the shareholders know what the status of design arounds are

At the November investors conference in NY, QUALCOMM's answer to my question concerning whether they had a work around to IP held by competitors (e.g., the power management patent held by BRCM) was YES, they had a workaround in their new chips. If that "YES" turns out to be inaccurate or misleading, they are in deep trouble not only with shareholders but with the entire investment community.

"why, if Q has design arounds, would they not tell the investment community that they do, and what the status is, and where they are in the process (unless they weren't very far, and the status was not good)?"

For the very same reasons they did in the ITC case. If they consider their decision was sound then they should be expected to follow suit this time.
