Quite right Blazer. The people who own the assets of a company are the shareholders [eminent domain notwithstanding; in fact the state owns everything including their serfs]. Hence, I own CDMA, ipso facto. I can click a mouse or phone a share broker and sell my huge collection of patents to keen buyers around the world.

Heck, China could buy them all and ditch their silly TD-SCDMA and use their own patents. QUALCOMM is available for $67bn, and most of the shares should be obtainable for $100bn.

That wouldn't use a large portion of China's US$ holdings which are deteriorating by the day. They should do something useful with the US$ before they decompose completely. Buying QUALCOMM would be a good move.

Then they wouldn't even have to negotiate to roll out all the 450MHz OFDM/CDMA they like across China and around the world.

MQ is an investor of QCOM... period. Of course, he can say he owns the patents. That doesn't mean he can be arrogant and attack other people's credits, especially there's a cultural issue involved. It was a cheap shot on his part to say the least. I don't find any humor from that guy. Sorry
