Injunctions on FRAND? You Seem to Think Are Impossible! Now Very Likely
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, November 06 2012 @ 09:10 AM EST
Sorry, but you seem to be skipping ONE VERY BIG STEP....
between here and an Appeal. You see... Apple intended this to
block granting of a near mobile product wide injunction. By
having the court determine a price that they were only willing
to pay. Price that should only be determined by the parties
working in good faith to to come to an agreement.

Motorola has already made a FRAND Offer in line with what
others pay or receive on RAND/FRAND patents. The judge has
basically said there is nothing wrong with that offer and it's
not the court's duty or in it's best interest to continue down
a path, where Apple has basically stated that it won't accept
what the court determines to be a FRAND price. Obviously if
she had thought $1 or less per unit would be fair, she would
have gone on with the trial. But apparently she's aware that
Apple was attempting to put the court in between a rock and a
hard place and so she tossed it. GOOD FOR HER.... there's
justice in America afterall!

Now this opens the way for Injunctions to be granted that
Motorola had already been pursuing, when Apple cried foul.
Those injunctions are now very likely, because it's already
been determined that Apple infringes them!!! :DDD

It must be a pity for all the money spend at building an image of FRAND patents
as being something totally different from other patents. And that those rules
come close in importance to fundamental rights in the constitution. Making that
the act of foreign country's not obeying these rules would be compared and
associated with terrorism.

Maybe the judge didn't read any of it. Or didn't buy that reasonable means
something totally different from what is happening outside the RAND rules.

Couldn't we help standard body's with finding a way to fix a price for FRAND
patents. I suggest asking the price of all patent deals of that type in that
sector. Asking both party's if that deal is reasonable. And if not, why. Leaving
the deals out that by both party's are declared unreasonable, and taking the
average. But also looking at other patent deals of the party's of a FRAND deal.

And, no problem, FRAND software patents can be demolished in the same move as
all software patents.
