Q has SEPs in the phone/infra which are not practiced in silicon (modem, power control etc.)? I am not challenging you. I am asking because I do not know. Q licenses all its IP as a bundle. Q portrays this as a great benefit to its licensees. If I were the licensee, I would not be so sure. How much in this bundle (a) are legitimate (i.e. can withstand challenge); (b) do I need? I am not given a choice. Worse, I am often required to cross-license my IP to Q, which it then aggregates and throws into this bundle and licenses to every licensee. !!?? I would not want to stand in court and defend such practice.
