To Dave: << if Ericy loses and was counting on forcing the Q to license one or more of its patents to continue with IS 95, and that possibility is gone, doesn't that cut off a potential weapon for Ericy - not just "a fly in the ointment". >> You seem to have missed or not understood my point. Perhaps I was not clear. What I was trying to say is that if Ericy loses, then Ericy has no bargaining chip left, no threat left, to use any Ericy patent to obstruct or stop IS-95 in its tracks as it is currently deployed around the world. Neither the Q nor anyone else will need to license any Ericy rpt Ericy patent re IS-95. In no way did I suggest or imply that the Q would not license its own Q patents to Ericy if Ericy applied for the Q patents necessary for the current IS-95. Chaz
