teecee, I also posted the following in a response to a posters remark that this article occurred prior to Google buying Motorola and the IBM patents:

Re: Silicon Valley’s interest in wireless patents doesn’t end with Nortel
All of them need IDCC's 4G/LTE declared essential patents, which total 441, so far. We do not know how many more will be declared essential from the 10,000 patents that are pending.
Furthermore, what a lot of people forget is that IDCC does not cross license because they do not manufacture cellphone products. The only way you get a license agreement with IDCC is to pay for it, period. Just because Samsung, LG, Huawei, Motorola, Nokia, Apple or any other have essential patents of their own, that will not keep them from having to pay IDCC for their essential patents.

Note below that Motorola has only 16 declared essential 4G/LTE patents ... that won't help very much and Nortel had only 46 declared essential 4G/LTE. This is compared to IDCC's 441 declared essential 4G/LTE + whatever will be declared essential out of the patent pending 10,000.
