vg future; The following are the points covered in the Ericsson letter. Since they have nothing against issuing exclusion orders, I would say it doesn't hurt IDCC.


1. Ericsson is interested because it invests heavily in research and development for open standards, and FRAND licensing is critical to that investment.

2. Ericsson agrees that FRAND licensing places obligations on both innovators and implementers-good faith must be a two-way street.

3. Ericsson agrees that exclusion orders should be available when the essential patent innovator has negotiated in good faith (i.e., there is no hold-up).

4. Ericsson agrees that exclusion orders should also be considered when the implementer has not negotiated in good faith (i.e., there is hold-out).
