Apple v. Motorola - FRAND Royalty Rate Trial in Wisconsin May Be Cancelled ~pj

Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, November 04 2012 @ 04:25 AM EST

I was wondering that - can the Judge simply find in favour of Motorola due to
Apples apparent statement that they intended to show contempt of court if they
didn't like the ruling?

since Apple never made a counter-offer before filing the lawsuit, Motorola's original rate proposal stands

Actually, I'm not so sure it does still stand (though I could be wrong; IANAAY: I Am Not An Accountant Yet):

Apple's reaction to Motorola's offer was to sue and want the court to decide a counter-offer but say they would only accept the court's counter-offer if it was less than 1%. That sounds very much to me like they rejected Motorola's original offer, and are in fact making a counter-offer (using the court as an [appointed] agent).

It is clear that Apple has never accepted the offer made by Motorola so Motorola is perfectly within their rights to revoke their offer; in fact, Apple's reaction of suing is quite a clear indication that they have rejected Motorola's offer in which case the offer automatically no longer stands; if it is a case that Apple has made a counter-offer via the court acting as its agent, then Motorola's original offer also automatically no longer stands.
