Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

When is settlement coming? We are getting close to the end of 2018!!!!

"ends soon, one way or another"

Didnt you see the note from legal, they and their highly paid external counsel consider they can drag it out for 2years of appeals post trial.

Mucho more billable hours in this yet................................

Lawyers love Q!

. ..and then, of course, there is the appeals process to consider.

This will end one way or another. Then the next one will come. It never ends.

SM insists on using the word 'settlement'. 'Settlement' implies the outcome is in some way agreeable or even satisfactory. But the reality is that the 'verdict' could well overturn decades of the entire business/licensing model of Q. The verdict could 'vindicate' Apple and result in billions upon billions of reduced revenues going forward and even possibility of billions of fines and damages and compensation to both Apple and many many other damaged, aggrieved OEMs and licensees.

The verdict could recognise the fact of Qs abuse of position/patent/licensing process; undue burden of % of sales price licensing and the outrageous abuse of standards essential IP. Will the courts mandate breaking up Q to ensure the licensing business is walled off and isolated ? Will the legal wall of separation essentially see the end of Q ? April, trial begins, could be nearly 9 more months of this drawn out saga of turmoil.
