Apple's strategic blunder
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, November 22 2012 @ 12:24 PM EST

I've really gotta wonder. If Apple had actually entered good-faith negotiations with Samsung then all their other negotiations would be unknown and Apple could potentially negotiate a lower rate with Samsung.

However - it's mind-boggling to think that Apple thought they could initiate a Lawsuit instead, and without disclosing anything (even though the Lawyers were fully aware of the discovery phase of lawsuits) manage to get a Judge to rule on an amount "$1 or less per unit".

It would be truly ironic if the case ends up with the Judge ruling:

    Given all the factors available, a FRAND rate offered by Samsung of 2.4% is not only reasonable, but below the common ranges that enter negotiations. I rule Samsung is fully within appropriate ranges and the negotiations will be entered by Apple (or they will surely face willful infringement of copyrights) with Samsung starting negotiations at 6%.
Now that - if it were to occur - would be so totally sweety Justice!

I think if that were to occur, even MS would sit up and take notice.
