mickey: To try and educate you, in regard to a chip maker taking action to prove that IDCC's patents were invalid, there are basically three actions that the chip maker can take:

1. It it fears a possible infringement charge, it can file a Declaratory Judgment Action Challenging Patent Validity

2. If an infringe action has been initiated it can file a defense counterclaim that the asserted patent(s) are invalid.

3. It can file a petition with the USPTO requesting an Inter Partis Review.

None of the above action are related in any manner to your idea of having IDCC just filing a restraining order/injunction/cease and desist order without filing an infringement suit.


I recommend you take bulldzr's advice and just drop this issue.
