Yes, it was Lupin who said Q was not infringing. But I think he meant that as long as the agreement between NOK and QCOM is still active, QCOM is not infringing. That is why, in my view, QCOM has always argued that the agreement is still in force and only that Nokia is refusing to live up to the terms of the agreement. And I have also heard at either a cc or an analyst meeting the opinion that QCOM does use some Nokia IP in its chipsets. If true, then if the agreement between the two companies is no longer in force, then BOTH companies are infringing each other's IP, but apparently NOK uses a lot more QCOM IP than does QCOM use Nokia IP.
