Right, those are 5,657,317 6,389,010 6,847,686. Did QCOM ever say they had workaround of above although they said they were invalid if remembered correctly. It is still possible that workaround is in the eve. Emergency appeal of injunction order to stay is what Q should do first and continue business as usual. QCOM has to be serious about Spinco 2 right now. IBM has over billion dollar revenue from licensing and still produce huge revenue by selling its product. Q, which is not in business of IBM family, may not ever be able to reach IBM status unless a new rule ( precedence ) is set that a company like QCOM which has essential core IPR of a product at issue is immune from injunction when it is infringing non essential ancillary items such as video compression, blue tooth and voice activation, power saving etc. It is like enforcing the automobiles on injunction because of infringing a rear mirror, inflatable tires or fuel injectio, mufflers etc. Ludicrous.
