My issue here is, if you can consider the case of a phone a consumer electronic, then why couldn't you consider the shell of an electric computerized vehicle a consumer electronic?

I tend to agree with your vision and I like to include also the use of BMG and Magnesium into car battery.

This would be an easy case for lqmt to win. First off who else can make car doors other than Li? No one. So what court would rule that a door or a side panel or even a hood is a CE product so Apple is excluded from paying royalties to lqmt for CIP patents being used in the nonCE market.

Respectfully, it isn't quite that simple. Depending on the facts, there are ways Apple could avoid paying royalties for car doors, hoods, side panels, etc. Are Eontec's patents in the U.S. strong enough to cover those components? If not, Apple could manufacture in the U.S. and avoid royalties.
