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

Ok, I think you replied the wrong person or something, IMHO
people here are discussing whether companies still have
interest in join patent pool when the judge is going to set a
price and cut off negotiation.

Maybe you meant to reply to someone else's post I guess.. but
yours here seens a bit out of context.

TLDR: there are people here discussing the price, just not the
one you replied.

> Only when you are completely and utterly unreasonable.

If others are being completely and utterly unreasonable against you, then you
need a weapon to fight back.

An FRAND encumbered patent is not such a weapon.

Therefore, it makes sense to never again to participate in FRAND pools.

The MPEG LA patents are not part of the H264 Standard
Authored by: Ian Al on Saturday, April 27 2013 @ 03:24 AM EDT
They are just a collection of patents that can be used to extort money from US
users of the world standard.

The patent pool was created after the standard was published and the RAND
assurance for the real standard-essential patents had been given to the ITU.

Software Patents: It's the disclosed functions in the patent, stupid!
