But if you threw it out until both sides tried to negotiate, Apple would just
never negotiate, and never pay anything. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What I think the judge should have done was grant an injunction preventing the
use of the patented technology by Apple until they had negotiated a license.
If refusing to negotiate and then having a long drawn out legal battle benefits
a potential licensee then every major licensee will start doing it and the
courts will be swamped. If there is a clear attempt to game the system then the
system has to make that a painful process for the gamee if the system is not to
collapse. If there was evidence of a good faith attempt to negotiate then things
would be different.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

For negotiation to be effective both parties have to be
willing to give up something of value. Motorola is
presumably willing to go lower on price if Apple gave up
something.
But what if Apple don't have anything or want to give to give
up? I can see how the opening bid then becomes the take it
or leave it price making it very much discriminatory.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
