SKIP Paul: Is your conclusion based on the language in the NDA? Yes, it is. If that statement was copied verbatum from the NDA, then Ericsson may develop their own version, or flavour, of CDMA using those aspects. over 60 licensees have decided it will be counterproductive to [develop their own version of IS-95, or develop the IP for IS-95] Not trying to play with your words. Ericsson is already claiming that they have enough IP for W-CDMA. Furthermore, this is Ericsson that Qualcomm is dealing with. Alot of companies do not like/want to help out their competition in regards to royalties. For example, take Motorola which insisted on producing their own ASICs. Did you know several D-RAM manufacturers still have refused to license out the Rambus design, even though the Rambus design is much better and is becoming a defacto standard? dave
