Really hard to tell without knowing the entire story. I have not followed the case, so all I am working with is the PR in FS2006’s post. Infringement only begins once the infringer has been notified. The PR states that Broadcom filed the suit May, 2005, so I am not sure when QUALCOMM was notified, but the case was filed only 2 years ago. It also states that none of the litigated patents were inventions developed specifically in connection with cellular technology or standards. So, if the infringement only covers a couple of years, and isn’t tied to QUALCOMM’s bread and butter, i.e. cell phone technology, than maybe it isn’t light. JMO, and again I have not followed the case so I could be 100% wrong and most likely am. GLTAL
