The finding of Validity or Essentiality is only necessary when a PLA is for Infringement and not Convenience..IMO:IDCC only has one Infringement License, Panasonic, and that is for 3G....Besides who cares about an English Court that spells LICENSE as LICENCE.
So. If the good Judge Pumfrey is not ruling on validity, and has not retained a special master, how will he determine that the patents are essential?
