There are tons of actions in Europe involving NOK, but I think the BRCM Western Front is all quiet. If I recall correctly, no more ongoing cases with BRCM which involve a trial or ITC proceeding. I may be wrong, but don't think so. I am just trying to get a handle on the possible legal announcements in '08. Q has a variety of GSM lawsuits against Nokia in Europe but after the ITC decision, that is 100% upside....nobody expects a win there. OTOH, I am sure that Broadcom is appealing the stay of the ITC injunction, but I dont have a clue how long that will take. The antitrust case is also moving along, but the decisive initial judgement gives me some confidence in that case. Hmm, there is also a suit against Nokia in SD that is progressing where Nokia has a number of counterclaims against Q's products. Hopefully, the counterclaims will be dismissed just as the ITC action was. We also have the possible ruling in the Nokia arbitration though I think that could stretch into '09. I know I am still missing some cases. What ever happened to the Nokia suit in Delaware? No wonder Q is spending millions on legal bills....it would take a half dozen people just to keep track of the schedules. Slacker
