In a First, Seattle Judge Sets RAND Rate in MS v. Motorola ~pj

Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, April 27 2013 @ 07:13 AM EDT

If Motorola wanted serious negotiations they should have asked for a serious
licensing price.

For instance 10 million dollars a year.
That is still a lot higher than other FRAND promising patent holders for
AVC/h.264 are getting but at least it is not a joke.

That Motorola has now lost several court cases and is under investigation from
the EU for their patent abuse should be enough clue already of how wrong they
were.

Motorola didn't run to the courts demanding an injunction, they just tried to open negotiations in what used to be the ordinary course of business in such matters.

Er, yes they did. Motorola made a high offer of 2.25% then after Microsoft sued for breach of contract they counter-sued demanding an injunction.

Surprise Surprise... NOT. Seattle Judge Grants MS Motion, Bans Injunctions for Motorola's RAND Patents ~pj
