Look beyond particular cases - injunctions are AK-47s for patent trolls

Authored by: Wol on Wednesday, February 27 2013 @ 02:05 PM EST

If injunctions aren't available, then nobody would pay for SEPs. Hence a ban on
injunctions is 100% harmful.

If injunctions are used as a *standard* negotiating tactic, then newcomers are
likely to be forced out of the market. That too is harmful. But that is NOT the
case here.

Here, the prospective licencees (MS and Apple) don't want to pay anything. An
injunction is necessary otherwise they will effectively be allowed to get away
with theft.

Cheers,
Wol

Well, we can build a model based on the information in front of
us, such as specific cases.

Or we can take the alternative approach and build a model based on
hypothetical cases and our beliefs about the way things should
work (according to us).

If the last election taught us anything, it is that the latter
approach does not work.
