Judge Robart's ruling
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 17 2013 @ 03:53 PM EDT
If I remember correctly, Judge Robart's
ruling dismissed a lot of Motorola's
evidence because it included Motorola's
cellular SEPs which was much stronger and
more valuable than its video and WiFi
SEPs.

So, Apple is trying to say something the
ruling explicitly said cannot be inferred.

What exactly should happen to a company that refuses to pay and won't accept ....?
Authored by: AMackenzie on Saturday, May 18 2013 @ 05:13 AM EDT
If a company like Apple refuses to pay the rate set by a judge, can't its
opponents have them prosecuted for contempt of court, or send in the bailiffs to
seize assets?

Seeking vs. Obtaining?
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, May 19 2013 @ 03:35 AM EDT
From Motorola's argument:
"[The consent decree] prohibit[s] Respondents from
“obtaining or enforcing”—but not seeking—an injunction in a
pending action “unless and until Respondents have made
Qualified Offers to the Potential licensee"

So, their argument is they're free to ASK for an injunction,
but can't actually be granted one, and can't enforce it if
they did get one?

Why wouldn't a judge throw such a request out in the
interest of judicial efficiency (just as they threw out
Apple's request for a FRAND rate that they refused to be
bound by if it were set in Wisconsin)?

This specific point feels pretty weak from Motorola.
Especially because, as I read it, they can cure the issue
themselves, by "making a Qualified Offer to the Potential
Licensee." They're going to have to do it anyways to
enforce an injunction if the judge sees fit to grant one.
Why wouldn't the judge insist they do it beforehand, so
they're not wasting time issuing an injunction that is (at
the time it's issued) moot?

I'm sure putting a number on the table by Motorola weakens
their position, but this portion of their appeal reads like
pure legal gamesmanship.
