Accepting the opening negotiation == paying the MSRP for a car
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 26 2013 @ 07:08 PM EDT
"That the judge doesn't understand FRAND and has admitted so in his own
court filings?"

Nonsense.

"Given that Motorola has had the exact same negotiation
process with -- as you so helpfully pointed out -- thousands of other companies
with the exact same opening offer, can you cite ANY other companies who went to
court before sending back a first counter-offer?"

I did not state any such thing nor do I know of any such thing. (I said that if
these were truly standard essential, they would presumably have thousands of
licensees. I do not know that nor do I know how they were approached.) In fact,
I only know of the 3 or 4 examples that Motorola provided and in at least one of
those, Motorola through in their SEPs as a freeby.

"Just one."

Two. But I also don't know how many people are even bothering to license this
from Motorola or who have been approached by Motorola to license them.

"One is all it takes."

Yup. And?

"Just one company who litigated instead of sending back an
opening offer."

Yup. And?

"Any company."

I'm not sure what you are even saying anymore.

"Your next post needs to be the name of one company or you're nothing but a
troll."

One company, what? That refuses to comply with Motorola? Apple. Next?
