I think this decision from WA court is extremely important subject matter for patent investors. The problem is most casual VRNG investors do not understand basic patent investment concepts, and this FRAND issue is very advanced and complex. As such, its important that the the message, analysis, interpretation, etc. of this matter is communicated correctly.

This case (MSFT vs Motorola) marks the first time EVER that a U.S. court has meddled in standardized, FRAND-obligated patents and determined what the "fair" icensing terms for the parties should be. This is ground-breaking case law that is sure to be appealed and has the potential to effect all PAEs going forward - including VRNG.

It's important to note (to the point of repetitive monotony) that this issue involves Standards Essential patents -- and NOT proprietary technology (like the I/P Engine patents VRNG is using against GOOG or MSFT). Likewise VHC's patents are being asserted against AAPL, Avaya, et al based on proprietary (not standardized) technology.

If we start mixing up terms and concepts, there won't be any rational discussion on which to agree or disagree. It will just be a hodgepodge of random opinions based on ignorance and not facts and/or logic.
