Dave: RE: I understood their threat to mean that they won't license any technology to QCOM period, that they weren't actually referring to WCDMA, that if Q needs any ERICY IPR for CDMA 2000 or anything else they won't receive it. I interpretted it another way. As I told Gregg, I am perplexed why Ericy would publicly make a comment like that. However, it appeared that Ericsson has threatened Qualcomm by stating, to summarize, "If you don't license your (the Q's) patents to us, then we won't license our patents to you." The one problem with Ericsson's statement is that Ericsson hasn't proven, much less stated, which IP that Ericsson has that the Q needs. The tone of that entire article was largely negative. dave
