What do you call it when Apple insists it has a right to use Samsung's
standard-related FRAND patents without paying anything for using them? And
refuses to talk to Samsung about any agreement to use the patents? And goes to
court about it? And seems to get away with that? Oh, and manages to get a
billion dollar judgment for Samsung's "slavish copying" of rectangular
devices with rounded corners which have public-domain icons on the screen.
What do you call it when Microsoft insists it has a right to use Motorola's
standards-essential FRAND patents without paying anything for using them? And
refuses to talk to Motorola about any agreement to use the patents? And goes to
court about it? And gets a court in the US to enjoin a decision of a court in
Germany from taking effect? And gets away with that? Oh, and seems to be able to
strong-arm several companies which produce phones to license patents from them
which nobody can even say what those patents are.
The way it looks to me is, Samsung and Motorola certainly are asked to
"give something away." If they aren't then what is it, exactly?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
