While those documents contain notices of confidentiality, their availability online once again indicates that the information contained in the documents is no secret

I don't know if an attorney would buy this argument... Anyway, I always thought that the GSM technology involves some patents by at least Motorola and Nokia. How are they working around that?

I have consulted with lawyers, and the fact that those documents have been publicly available on the internet since 2004/2005 without Ti taking them down is sufficient to claim their content is no trade secret
