JGoren: Well, I think you have said that Ericsson would most likely: Presumably, Ericy is left with its strongest 3 claims; from its point of view, it would argue it is "strengthening" its case by concentrating on its best 3 patent claims. Which I agree with. Really, the strength of their case is a matter of perspective, i.e. which side the attorney's are on. Of course, receiving narrower coverage on several patents can't really help, but at least they weren't invalidated at the PTO (which would be a complete loss at the time). I am of the opinion that all companies, Ericsson included, don't know all the prior art that is available which, in turn, determines the coverage. As I was arguing earlier about coverage, how one reads/interprets a patent is extremely important. I think I will attend Qualcomm's annual meeting and, after a little bit of disclosure to engineer, would love to talk to him and get a technical side on the discussion I made. dave
