One final time, the wireless sector has allowed and continues to allow chipmakers to produce and sell chips without the requirement of a license from any patent holders of technology contained in the chip. IDCC has a vested interest in maintaining a good relationship with the sector members because they want and need their technology accepted in the standards. An attempt to upset the habits and customs of the sector would be a foolish effort. First, they will probably lose. Second, they will create bad blood whether they win or lose. It would be against public policy to shut down the chipmaking business. In effect, you would be preventing your technology from ever being placed into commerce in the hands of the end users. 2 and 3g have been compromised by the actions of IDCC. We just have to get what we can and hope the company handles 4 and 5g differently. We can still get a decent sum from the unlicensed 3g infringers, but this all should be settled via a license for 4 and 5g at uniform terms for all manufacturers. Once they get a majority signed up for 4 and 5g at uniform rates, litigation will become much easier. The manufacturers will trust their competitors are not receiving a better advantage. The biggest worry you should have right now is whether the CEO and General Counsel can shed the dry cleaner pricing model and shift to the more FRANDly Qcom model.
