Mickey... this sue the chip mfrs ain't gonna happen. Just drop this and go back to "screaming buy"... no one can disagree with that unless they have lost faith in the company.

Throw the ball in their court and we can all see where they stand.

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.
