Loop,

For some reason I get the feeling this is a trick question.... But I'll bite. Cheesy Grin

I don't know Intel's entire product line and I don't follow them that closely. All I know is that they are predominantly a chipmaker and IDCC has not been licensing their wireless protocol patents at the chip level to date. I haven't seen any terminal units made by Intel yet, and I haven't read any plans for them to get into that. I know it gets complicated when we start dealing with designers, contractors, carve outs for co-branded or collaborative efforts... but I don't think INTC is at that stage with any type of product.

In the past, when Intel wants to announce a new platform, they have partnered with manufacturers to make the prototypes and products. This is what they did with their Ultrabooks initiative recently.

And I think there is a distinction we must all make between a company using IDCC's IPR and a company being expected to take a license with IDCC.

I don't expect Intel to license with IDCC any more than I expect QCOM to license with IDCC, and I'm positive QCOM uses IDCC's patents in some of their products. (Although I don't think those products are significant in quantity.)

As for INTC's chips... I don't know how advanced they have become and if anything new by them will (now or in the future) breach a barrier in regards to needing IDCC's air interface patents... but if so, it would be news to me.

Are you saying that Intel will not be using the core patented inventions of IDCC?
