gdichaz: No, I do not know of the "history" between Qualcomm and Ericsson. Sure, I understand where you are coming from. I read the post(s) by Explorerathome on Yahoo. I felt that it was a very good summary as to the events so far. And what Explorerathome said is true, even though Ericsson might win, damages could be $1, similiar to the USFL v. NFL. It appears, that Ericsson stands the most to gain and the most to lose. If Qualcomm loses, business as usual for them (as long as the damages are not hundreds of millions/billions <g>, but that is highly unlikely). If Qualcomm wins, business as usual. If Ericsson wins, they have to prove damages. If they prove their case on the damages, that could hurt the Q. If Ericsson wins and they can't prove damages, nothing REALLY will happen to the Q. If Ericsson loses, they could lose a few patents which would be a fly in the ointment. dave
