or is broadcomm starting to look like a whiny little b!tch lately?

just get over yourselves and the fact that qualcomm found a way to do it cheaper and better, and find a settlement that both comapnies can agree with so the manufacturers can move up to the next level of development on the phones.

It's worse than the steel and auto industries here in the US. Just find a way to do it faster and cheaper and better and more efficiently than the japanese companies and quit whining to the government that you can't compete. No, you WON'T compete! theres a difference. instead of making a tank that gets 12 MPG going downhill with a 50 mph tailwind, make a vehicle that can get 30 mpg and carry the family using something other than the $3....

Qualcomm found a way to do it, sure- but they did it at the cost of Broadcomm's efforts. Wilfull infringement is another way of saying they stole their ideas. I'd be angry too.

Um wait a minute. Isn't WCDMA (as opposed to CDMA) just the GSM crowd's way or recognizing a better mouse-trap and then um 'appropriating' the ideas? Originally invented by Irwin Jacobs (Qualcomm's founder) and make to work (by Qualcomm) only after a great deal of work?

In fact, when, several yrs ago, I read of the upward transition path for GSM, I snorted involuntarily when I came across the name WCDMA.

If Broadcomm has patents they're trivial compared to the above considerations.

Where can one read - with as much objectivity as can be found - of the relative merits of the case?

The more technical the better.
