I just have to agree with you. For fun, if not on principle (ok, I agree in principle too... but fun is more fun) What is reasonable one year is not necessarily reasonable another year. Indeed. The only position that is necessarily unreasonable is an assertion that a constant price is reasonable. Particularly a price that is constant over time and space. Of the two parties in the dispute, one is arguing for "the same" price (for all parties, over all time) and the other party is arguing "things change" <ggg> As far as whether Qualcomm should be paid more, or less, for its IPR? As you said, price is what the market will bear. If they jack the price up too high, all of their customers (in addition to Nokia) will have them in court. If they set the price too low, nobody whines. They will know they have the price just right when only one or two are whining, but not winning, and the rest are paying. Maybe that's where things are at?
