Patent Power and Exclusive CDMA for GSTRF Just in case anyone misses the point, this decision confirms Globalstar has EXCLUSIVE use of Qualcomm's CDMA in space. Unlike in terrestrial systems, Q! will NOT license any other companies to use their CDMA. Sure there are other CDMA systems, but they don't work on mobile phones - well, they might somewhat, but nothing like Qualcomm's. -----------------------------------------------------------------. The Patent Office, after carefully reviewing all the additional prior art, concluded that the patent was valid and that QUALCOMM was also entitled to 19 new claims. The '459 Patent, entitled ''System and Method for Generating Signal Waveforms in a CDMA Cellular Telephone System,'' describes inventions for generating the basic CDMA waveforms used in CDMA wireless systems such as IS-95 and others. The same basic waveforms are also utilized in CDMA systems proposed for third-generation standards. The inventions of the '459 Patent enable multiple callers in a CDMA wireless telecommunications network to efficiently use the same frequency band without mutual interference, allowing for greater system capacity and better link performance. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Maurice
