Nokia is infringing NOW when using Q's IPR. Q has said many times that on April 7th or there abouts Nokia would be infringing Q's patents if they did not have a contract regardless of the 2008 extension. Officers from both companies have stated publically that after the expiration of the SULA as of April 2007, both companies would be infringing on each others' patents. There is a question of whether or not injunction relief is available to Qualcomm (and vice versa), but it seems to me that there's only one way to find out. Qualcomm is the one arguing that a contract currently exists, and that stance has hamstrung them from asserting their WCDMA patent portfolio.
