jai, I totaly agree with you. Look at Qualcom, most OEM are lining up to license...Qualcom will sue you in a heartbeat. They won't hesitate. The end result is respect and fair value or more for their IPR.
No more Mr. nice guy or "future cooperation." No such thing as cooperation in this environment. If they can make money using your IPR without paying they'll do it...no ethics. the name of the game is being proactive and depend your IPR vigorously because tommorow if you wait, you may end up with nothing. Can you imagine the hard work of all this unsung heroes (the engineers and inventors)at IDCC...all their work down the drain..no substantial revenue realize. I do hope someday they will realize their dreams like all of us, because they are the ones that has the hardest work in addition to endless waiting. Management, if you are listening, don't do it for us, do it for your engineers and inventors. Do it while we still have time for 3G. We don't want the 2G cycle to repeat itself in 3G.
Don't worry about so called "cooperation," if you have the goods produce by our top notch scientist, engineers and inventors, they will use it or others will use it..learn from Qualcom...follow the example of Qualcom. By the way, I am not a trader, I'm long IDCC.
