JGoren:

You can't be on both sides of the fence. Weren't you telling me that the Q has the blocking patents on CDMA? Now you are telling me that a company can have different patents?

Let's assume that Ericsson has been granted the first patent on Handoff.

Now, if anyone else comes up with a specific method of Handoff, they are infringing on Ericsson's patent, even if it is an improvement. What the company that got the patent on the specific/improved method of Handoff needs to do is to sign a licensing agreement with Ericsson.

You can't argue from both sides of the fence....

JGoren:

There is no theoretical reason why two companies cannot both have valid patents for "soft handoff".

I find the statement quite humorous. I am not laughing at you, but the reasoning which you are taking, i.e. that there have got to be different ways to implement X, is exactly the reasoning I was giving this thread about the Q's CDMA and was flamed.

Take care,
