Tech firms and regulators meet at UN patent pow-wow
http://j.mp/R5ndKC (BBC)
Chip-maker Qualcomm also suggests that altering the rules could give
rise to more, not less, litigation as it would encourage firms to
resist their inventions being classed as standard-essential. And,
despite several recent high-profile cases, it dismisses talk of a
patent "crisis". Samsung claims the new iPhone infringes two of its
Frand-type patents "The so-called 'patent wars' should be seen for
what they are: a small number of participants in a highly competitive
industry in which change and innovation occur at lightening speed are
locked in a ferocious battle to establish market positions for
competing operating systems, with litigation being a marginal aspect
of this contest," Qualcomm said in its pre-event statement.

If Qualcomm seriously feels that there is no crisis in this area, it
suggests that they may be delusional, duplicitous, or both.
