IMO:The Delaware Court is fully aware that Nokia will not be damaged until 2007..and then not at all if they "work around" IDCC's WCDMA/cdma2000 Patent Portfolio issued and Pending..Time is not of the essence. Of course now Nokia has to also "work around" Qualcomm's cdma Patents that are essential for GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA...


I just spoke with the Delaware Court and talked with Debbie Brett, case manager.

If I understood correctly, Nokia's motion for a hearing has gone by the wayside until the issue of dismissal is decided.

Ms. Brett said this ruling was also necessary for a scheduling order, and might be dismissed in part, or all.

This means there is nothing going on with the parties at the moment, i.e., interrogatories, depositions, etc.

Although I mentioned that we had heard nothing for 8 months, I knew better than to ask when the ruling might come down.

Being a case manager for Judge Farnan has got to be one of the most plush jobs on the planet.
