As is evidenced (1) by their failure to negotiate, and (2) their total *lack* of
interest in taking a licence.
I would not call running to the courts in response to an *opening* offer a
"reasonable negotiation". And in the UK I'm pretty certain any company
stupid enough to try it would find they had upset the Judge rather badly just by
trying it on.
Not a good idea.

And Moto has said they offered their standard OPENING offer
- they KNOW it'll get negotiated DOWN (not up).
Let's say you and I are negotiating a sale - I'm willing to
accept $50 for the item. Do I start negotiations at $50?
No, I ask $100, knowing you'll come back with a counter-
offer. Let's say you're willing to pay $60 - you don't
start your negotiation there, you offer $25. Now we go
through a few rounds of negotiation, and end up with
something between $50 and $60 (or no sale).
In this case, Moto opened negotiations, and MS went straight
to the courts - they failed to counter-offer. Not what I
would call "good faith."

"But they don't think Motorola's demands are reasonable"
This is where you show that you know absolutely nothing about
what is going on here. Motorola didn't "demand" anything. they
offered an openning bid into negotiations.
