There's a replay of the call @ (800) 633-8284..code#11944983

There's a problem however, which is that the recording cuts of before the end.Would someone who listened to the live call and took notes please take the time to post a summary of the end of the call?

The call broke off at the second question by the analyst from Volpe Brown.

* How long does Q IPR last?

TIA...

Things do sound good don't they? Fortunately Wall ST looks ahead and will probably overlook the writedowns..

Re : Dr. J "expects that there may be patent challenges" in Europe. This one concerns me greatly as I think that ERICY is not beyond creating a hell of a lot more mischief in the legal arena in Europe and elsewhere.

Personally, I just do not think that this makes any sense.

ERICY and Qualcomm BOTH want to cover Europe with QCOM / ERICY stuff as quickly as possible, I think.

Jon.

I don't think a licensee can challenge a patent licensed to it; it is estopped by its contract to license, which expressly or impliedly admits the validity of the patent. Challenge would have to come from another company. By analogy, if you buy a house from someone and take a deed, you cannot challenge the vendor's title that he transferred to you.
