Company Press Release SOURCE: Motorola Cellular Division Motorola Statement LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The following was released today by Motorola: The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower court's denial of Motorola's (request for preliminary injunction relating to the appearance of Qualcomm's ''Q'' phone. Since the appeal was from a request for preliminary relief, the record was not fully developed. While Motorola is disappointed by the Court's decision, we are confident that once discovery is complete and all the facts are considered we will prevail. At trial, Motorola expects to show that the appearance of the ''Q'' phone infringes Motorola's design patents and trade dress and that Qualcomm infringes other utility patents.

The price/sales ratio for QCOM was one of the main reason I invested in QCOM. To me, it is the most compelling factor about QCOM. I see companies with similar growth rate to QCOM but have a very high price/sales ratio. I also see companies with similar price/sales ratio to QCOM but at very low growth rates. QCOM is the only company I know of which has a estimated 1998 price/ratio of less than 1 with the growth rate it has. Does anybody know of any other company similar to QCOM in this respect. Please advise as I would like to have another company besides QCOM in my portfolio. Thanks. Vinh
