"not surprised that they are trying to get the same 3g contract" - yes it is VERY interesting that Samsung dearly WANTS Nok's 3G license terms. Also, very interesting is that despite Nok's legal attack on our 3G IPR in court, that NOK itself has not (yet) repudiated their 3G (and 2G) license altogether.

Maybe Nok doesn't need to, since NOK apparently is free to challenge our 3G (and 2G) patents in court anyway (for the period after the license expires) provided of course the court will hear it, which is still TBD.

So what is it about Nok's 3G license that makes it so DESIRABLE to Nok AND to Sam?

IMO, it is the 3G MFL contained therein. Nobody, and certainly not Nok nor Sam want to be the odd customer out without an MFL from IDCC for 3G.

So, we have Nok hanging onto, and Sam striving to get, this key term in the Nok 3G license.

Whatever the key term is in the Nok 3G license that is so important to both Nok and Sam, I hope it will drive Nok to settle now with IDCC including 3G.
