I am going to take a stab at it. Qcom designs chips and does most of the R&D for patents in SD. Probably almost all of the domestic revenue is the royalties on the patent portfolio. The chips are fabricated under contract with a Qcom sub and sold abroad to a manufacturer (e.g., S. Korean handset maker), the income received by the Qcom sub is wholly foreign. That's why there's so much unpatriated income.
