No, not really. I believe this is the judge that thinks he
has the right to tell the world what to do. I expect that he
thinks he also is competent to set a price for IP that he most
likely has little to no understanding of. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Unless this judge is in Microsoft's pockets, Microsoft
may well be asking
what it has gotten itself into in the
end. Motorola makes a strong case that
the trial should be
conducted to recreate the negotiations that should
have taken place, had Microsoft not gone running to the
courts. If Motorola
gets its way, the outcome is bound to be
worse for Microsoft than had it
negotiated in the first
place, because it won't reflect the exact set of
trade-offs
that Microsoft would have negotiated for. It will be a
settlement
imposed on them from the outside. Now having seen
what happened when Apple
decided it wanted to retain the
right to decline a settlement reached by the
court,
Microsoft has no choice but to continue no matter what, or
drop out all
together and throw itself at the feet of
Motorola's mercy. No wonder Motorola's
brief sounds so
cheerful! [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
