Is it not possible that after several months of negotiations and agreement..the parties came to an impasse which caused a narrow legal dispute known as Tantivy vs. Lucent for seven patents? HDR Specific?


Also I don't understand the strategy of not including WCDMA patents in the Lucent lawsuit. Lucent is making WCDMA infrastructure and should be infringing those essential patents too. To get WCDMA infrastructure resolved is more important than CDMA2000 infrastructure IMO, since NEC is the only one paying for WCDMA infra currently. This might keep us from having to take someone else to court over WCDMA infrastructure. Finally if Lucent is an automatic trigger for the Nokia infrastructure rate and Nokia does far more in WCDMA infrastructure than in CDMA2000, then why omit WCDMA from the Lucent suit when we can get Nokia's rate set for WCDMA infrastructure also?
