Thanks for responding PJ.
I added the wifi ordeal in the middle of my thoughts and didn't mean to
imply that FRAND patents were dropped. The Wifi Moto patents seemed to
be dropped bc Google's deal with the US Gov.
The H.264 interlaced video patents issue is still ongoing.
FRAND issues are still going to be decided.
If someone is opposed to software patents and 0 royalties for SEPs, how
can a person support either side?
I'd prefer that they BOTH lose.
Moto's legal arguments in the wifi part (now withdrawn) gave patent trolls a
big stick to beat down Mom and Pop. The fact that trolls/NPEs can now use
the same arguement that Moto paid ($millions to lawyers) for, to sue Mom
and Pop.
I like this website and intelligent discourse and you personally responding.
I'm not a troll... I like discussing these things that are so important to our
society.
Still no one addresses the 2.25% of final sale price issue here except to
say it is the initial or opening offer. Legally vague but maybe legal. What
about the consequences on the rest of the industry? No one here is looking
at the potential negative effects on the entire tech industry.
PJ - you support no software patents and 0% royalties on SEPs.. Would
you support one without the other? (Sorry if I misquote you)
Good discussion. :)
