It would be impossible to search, analyze and make a determination on thousands and thousands of patents. If a company took this approach their product would never get off the drawing board.

Even if you went to this level of effort, there would still be no guarantee that your analysis would even be correct. Mutiple different experts can have different opinions on infringement and the only one that really matters is the judges.

Infringement just isnt a black and white issue.

Is that not the job for patent lawyers to find out? Obviously, the decision of the court that matters. And even when (not if but when) QCOM has a work around, will this legal issue with BRCM go away or will that nasty company come back for another legal round?
