did you read the paper I posted? being selective?
do you really think companies gave up their IP for nothing? I happen to know this issue was always negotiated...to what extent was determined by the size/value of the licensee portfolio in the Qualcomm created ecosystem...you may want to look at pages 7, 8, 9
Licensees who purchase QUALCOMM’s
chipsets and software also receive the right to use certain other third party
patents as part of the purchase of such chipsets/software
through a mechanism known as patent exhaustion where such third
parties have granted to QUALCOMM the right to make, use and sell
its chipset and software solutions.
[5] Third-Party Rights Incorporated into
QUALCOMM’s Chipsets
From the beginning of its licensing program, QUALCOMM has spent and
continues to spend substantial effort and revenue to obtain crosslicenses
for its chipsets and software, thereby benefiting its customers by
reducing the aggregate royalties that they might be required to pay for
third-party patents. In some instances, QUALCOMM may proactively
obtain patents from other third parties that it believes will benefit its
licensees and end users and, thereby, expand the applications and
feature sets of products for the WCDMA and CDMA2000 markets.
By securing these [third-party patent] rights for the chipsets and
software it sells to its customers, QUALCOMM reduces the potential
burden of “royalty stacking.” This is the theoretical accumulation of
royalty payments that could be paid to multiple patent holders, each
charging a separate royalty.
