Okay and those sorts of reports have, you up there with Qualcomm and Qualcomm asks 3.25% requested rate on LTE? Do you think that your royalty rights might be and were in that range?

Scott McQuilkin

Qualcomm gets to wherever it gets to for a variety of reasons, a lot of it historical. Where we end up at the end of the day is, and I talked about this before, we have a certain level of royalties that we get today on 3G products. Given the very strong position we have on LTE and again that it’s a layer, we believe we can move those rates up. I would suggest it’s not a dramatic move, it will be more that wedged (rn-nudged) up. But even a small move in rates in this market can be very, very significant in terms of revenue and profits.


Why do you still "amplify" an InterDigital rate chart PRE-Nortel auction results and re-hashing a comment from Merritt of a "nudge" in LTE royalty rates PRE-Nortel auction results?

Yes, Apple has not brought the Nortel patents. Again, I believe that Samsung and their lawyers have already integrated into their current global legal action strategy the expectation of Apple using the Nortel patents in the future and they are still "confident." In other words, I highly doubt Samsung is going to bite on the QB option. They likely have both the QB (Apple) and the RB (Nortel) contained according to their confident public statements.
