"... .. early patents remain licensed"

Jeffrey,

<< Patrick, if "fully paid up" were simply the patent exhaustion doctrine, as you suggest, why would Nokia's spin machine be only claiming it applies to some "earlier patents"? >>

To go one step further, why would Qualcomm state in its SEC 10K and 10Q filings that "we have a license agreement with Nokia Corp., which in part expires on April 9, 2007" and why would Steve Altman state publicly that some Nokia ".. early patents remain licensed" in explaining the statement that the Nokia license eagreement "in part expires"?
