To paraphrase Dan Akroyd . . .
"Ricardo, you ignorant slut."
Just who died and made you King? You come onto this board, post a poorly stated question, then start ridiculing those that reply and mocking the board for not giving you all the information you want within minutes of your posts.
All you want is for us to identify IDCC's patents, break them down into essential and commercial desirable columns for 2G and 3G respectively, discuss in engineering terms exactly what each patent does and compare and contrast that with other IP out there and determine how difficult or expensive it would be to work around it, provide legal opinions on the enforceability of each patent to each manufacturer, and give you the licensing rate IDCC will get for 3G based on the engineering, legal opinion and status of the negotiations between IDCC and the companies in the industry. And you expect that information from a chat board. You may want to reconsider you DD approach.
These issues are all subjective and being worked on and negotiated by both sides. There has been excellent and thorough discussion of all these issues and more by informed and intelligent posters with knowledge and experience in engineering, the law, business and other relevant fields. Just because we don't all scramble to give you all the answers doesn't mean we are ignorant. My view is that you have not taken the time to get the basic information about IDCC, so to answer your question would require teaching you all the background. It's like someone asking to be taught how to play a song on the piano but does not know how to read music.
You'll find that if you narrow the scope of your questions, demonstrate knowledge of the area by stating your premises and ideas, and lose the condescending attitude, then this board can be a great resource. If not, you'll get more replies like this.
