I guess you missed that Apple VS Samsung trial.
Intel makes a $10 cellular chip with patents that they licensed from
Samsung.
Apple buys the $10 chip from Intel which carries the license onward...
Samsung cant ask Apple for money also since Intel already paid the
licensing fee.
It's called patent exhaustion and Samsung and Moto are trying to
circumvent it. This would be a very bad thing in the tech industry.
When HP sells a computer, should they pay just the price for a RAM chip,
or should they pay the price of the RAM chip plus licensing fees for every
patent in that chip, to multiple companies.
The way Samsung (and Moto) want the system is every patent owner gets
2.4% of the final cost of that $500 PC. It would take less than 50 RAM
patent owners demanding similar licenses till the RAM license royalties
cost more than the cost of the PC. Let's add in the HD, video cards, etc...
And then no company can afford to build a PC.
What Samsung and Moto are asking for is totally unreasonable, and if you
can't understand that, then you are blinded by your own biases.
The lack of reason and critical thinking on this website is similar to
Engadget.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
