invent a technology far more important and difficult than simply apply it.
It took about 50 years to invent wOFDM (wi-lan's invention that forms the basis of many standards like wifi, wimax, lte..). However it only take a month or so to see some new wireless products put into the market.
If the big companies stop stealing others' inventions, there would be more "super novas"companies born now, and more next qualcom, samsung, microsof, apple etc.
The future belongs to small inventors not big companies in my view, and we already saw what happened to nortel, Kodak etc. So respect others' IPR and pay fair fee to use others' IPR. It's the capitalism market anyway.
good luck
