It certainly was before his watch. Actually the decision was very sound. IDCC engineers elected to go with TDMA rather CDMA. As it turned out TDMA captured 80% of the Market, but Judge Lombardino and a jury took away the TDMA foundation patents.

They won the foundation patent case in Germany, but opted not to continue litigation efforts outside the USA.
