Did you contact other executives of manufacturing companies in an effort to have them agree with your idea to fix the amount of royalty these independent invention maggots can get for your hard earned manufacturing efforts? You're damned right I did and I will do it again to put these people out of business. Can you say "case closed". There are some clients that you just cannot control no matter how much woodshedding takes place.

Nokia was not the originator of the efforts to limit patent royalties in 3G. Yes, they participated, but so did IDCC.

now, does it make it unfair or unreasonable that they did this? no. it was an industry decision. It was IDCC's (and Qualcomm's) decision not to license through this group. Battles ahead.

thanks for your posts - very much of value to me.
