TeeCee: I just received an interesting piece of news from Kent and since he always posted here, I thought I share it on this Board. Highlight is the number of "essential" patents each individual firm declared to ESTI as "essential". I find it interesting to compare Mot to the others:
ETSI notified essential patents by firm
Firm Claimed / number of unique essential patents
Nokia 248
Ericsson 244
Qualcomm 228
InterDigital 168
Samsung 86
Motorola 54
Philips 45
Siemens(*) 38
