paheka, I'm right there with you on this being a great article. There is one thing that should be kept in mind though when looking at the royalty % afforded to Broadcom. Broadcom sued over the use of its patents in chipsets, and the percentage of the sale was based on that one component of the mobile device. IDCC is charging a percentage of the entire phone which includes many devices that do not contain any IDCC IP. Consequently, the court may find it reasonable to support IDCC for the smaller percentage the company historically tries to license for.
