Assuming that BB has it right - Does this mean that Posner will have to do it
over again?

Both Apple and others (including Microsoft I guess but I haven't been
following that line very closely) are willing to pay for SEP.
What they are not willing to do is accede to excessive demands that
blackmail them into licensing non-SEP. SEPs came with an agreement
when they were offered to the standards bodies. No-one forced them
to be offered as SEP and agree to FRAND.
That was the patent-holders' choice.
For example, when Apple licenses iPod-connectivity stuff for inclusion
in a VW Beetle, the fee is not based on the final sales price of the car.
Yet that is what SEP holder tried to do to Apple - base the fee on the
retail price of the iPhone.
No wonder Apple is fighting it in Court.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
