which begs the question: what's next other than an appeal? what does the appeal mean? nok is still looking for a damage award from idcc, that just doesn't exist. it becomes a matter of legal fees, (as such, it shouldn't concern investors or analysts).
the real question, imo, is how do the FUD, stalling, obfuscating, distracting tactics impact the big IPR war that is going on. does NOK just not want qcom to be able to refer to a potential IDCC comparison? does nok just want the idcc issue to be after the 4/07 license expiration with qcom? will nok never ever ever never license with idcc until qcom is settled? can idcc compel a license?
is nok just looking for plausible deniability of willfulness?
if you can tell me anything about how idcc and qcom may be coupled to each other through the IPR wars, i'd appreciate it.
