Qualcomm Inc (QCOM)

Biz, it is apparent that the EU complainants have structured their argument in terms of the quantity of "essential patents" held, and Qualcomm defends by asserting the "importance" or "quality" of such patents. Give me a few patents that are at the heart and/or brain of the standard, rather than many at the fingers and toes, and I`ll be happier.
As for Ericsson stating or implying to Lucas van Eurotrash that it pays no net royalties to Qualcomm, I simply don`t believe that to be true, and it again emphasizes the depth to which Qualcomm`s Euro competitors will go, to diminish Qualcomm`s stature.
For years, Qualcomm has asserted its licensees pay the same royalties for WCDMA, as for CDMA2000,despite skepticism from the analyst and press communities. Once again, Qualcomm was correct.
