Olddog, Of course QCOM makes and sells chips, but as far as I know, IDCC hasn't licensed nor received any royalty from QCOM for chips or from any other chip manufacturer... is that correct? Not from TXN, not from ARMHY, not from SAM, and not from QCOM for their chips. IFX only pays a pass through royalty on the 3G chip because we participated in the development of the protocol stack; they don't pay a direct royalty payment to IDCC for our ipr now or for the millions of 2G GSM chips they sold. It just hasn't been IDCC's practice to license at the chip level.
You can check and share with us, but the patents in question in the Broadcom suit may have been specific chip ipr , or having to do with the chip manufacturing process... I don't know.
But my statement is correct; since QCOM doesn't mfr or sell devices they don't need to license our air interface patents.
