Revlis, I took the "certain future phones" to be a limiting phrase, perhaps limiting this licence to 2G or 2G & 2.5G, and specifically omitting 3G for future licensing terms. It allows Apple to carry on now, while the details of a 3G agreement are worked out. It's wide open for interpretation, so I don't think you can take it to mean 3G with a high level of confidence.

IDCC would then be in violation of the NDA clause in their PLA by referring to a license for a product that does not exist, thereby revealing Apples future Business Plan..!


P.S. Study the extensive Qualcomm vs. Texas Instruments Litigations, triggered when T.I. in a conference call slipped and said they pay Q zero royalty in their PLA!

I now know one more thing. "certain future mobile phones" are "future iphones" which means 3G. I do not know why the 8-K did not say so. I suspect too many hands in composing the 8-K.
