Motorola pointed out to the court that they had agreed royalties with other
companies at the same rate as their opening proposal to Microsoft.
They would have to discriminate against those companies to agree anything less
for Microsoft. That would be a breach of the FRAND declaration.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

do they even have to charge the same rate?
I mean it seems fair that a deep pockets company like
Microsoft should be asked to pay more.
Can't there be a sliding scale.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"What I don't understand is why is there so much emphasis on the valuation
of the patents in question at this juncture? Seems to me that the only thing
which has any bearing on the matter at hand is proving discrimination in the
negotiation* process by Motorola."
From M$ position, you are correct, because M$ simply wants the courts to make
the world work its way.
But from Moto's position, its about infringement, therefore, valuation is
necessary as we saw in the google/oracle case. For infringement, there are
damages, and damages need a valuation.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
