That's a load of hokum.
The group is operating under the laws created to shield the members of the group
from individual liability. The synthetic entities are made up from whole cloth
by the laws passed by the government. Any limitations of the entities 'rights'
(if such things exist) are in no way a limitation of the rights of the
individuals that make up that group.
If what you say was true, then corporations could vote. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

A corporation is ultimately
just a group of people (Shareholders)
banded together for some common purpose.
Shareholders? Don't you
mean employees, the group of people banded together to do the actual work? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The notion that the people lose in the agragate what they posses
individually is
nonsense
Tell that to all the investors in limited
companies whereby the liability that the people possess individually when
investing in a Sole Trader or Partnership is LOST when they aggregately
invest together in a [limited] company.
I'm sure SCO would not have
gone on for so long, and IBM could guarantee a much better expectation of
recovering their costs if the personal liability of the people investing in SCO
hadn't been lost as a result of joining together with other people in the
investment.
It's NOT nonsense to lose something on aggregation that an
individual possesses! Their personal liability has been lost! So why should the
same not apply to an asset?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Shareholders loose a lot by banding together, not least of
which liability, which becomes limited.
But more to the point, since these are publicly traded
companies we're talking about, if patent license agreements
were open knowledge to the shareholders of these companies,
they'd necessarily be public information.
So, what was your point again?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
