Because of the market forces and the impact on 3G, Qualcomm had an incentive to move the Ericy patent suit as quickly as possible. JGoren, I was actually thinking of the reverse. The longer the delay, the better it may be for QC. Why? I would assume that while all the attorneys are doing their sabre rattling, the engineers have not stopped their R&D. QC has the ability to be working on CDMA and any GSM overlay related stuff with VOD while ERICY, in theory, may be slightly handicapped by the lack of CDMA patents and experience. The longer 3G decision is postponed, the more time QC has to work on the more favorable migration path. So aside from the fact that I hold some April calls and am wishing for a quick pop, I don't see time not being on QC's side. Ramsey

I gave up long ago trying to get information but the phone number I had for the court was 214-767-8528 and the clerk that I asked for to get information on the IDC vs. ERICY was Richard Elman. I also believe you are right about Norther District and some how the 5th district also rings a bell. I had the site bookmarked but I must have lost it. I'm sure you will find it and afford what you can. Jim

JGoren , You Said "Qualcomm had an incentive to move the Ericy patent suit as quickly as possible." IDC also had that incentive and filed their suit on the east coast in a court that it was said to have a "rocket docket". ERICY too filed in Texas and because they filed their suit a few hours earlier the case was transferred to Texas and remains dormant. They must have a pretty slick legal team as they seem to be able to avoid courts. Hopefully the Q is well armed with the right legal team and will bring them to their knees. Better yet I hope both IDC and the Q accomplish the same .
