Another observation I failed to include in my prior post.
The ITC cases against both NOK and SAM should play out to conclusion or NOK's and SAM's concession. The only issue before the ITC is whether their products should be blocked from the USA market or not. In the SAM case the Staff lawyer came down on the side of saying the USA public is better served if there is no ban. The ALJ has a greater resonsibilty to judge if the USA patent system deserves the respect other nations give to their patents. The USA Court system is at the point where a patent system gives protection or not. These IDCC cases may be the most logical test cases and Judge Luckens my be the right Judge to confront this issue.
If our patent laws can be ignored and licensing fee negotiation dragged through the civil courts for multible years without risk of a market forclosing, then our Patent System, Copyrights etc will soon mean nothing and robbing our scientists of any incentives to invent.
We think in terms of IDCC and what it means to us, this ITC Judge has a much larger concern that impacts the longterm viability of this Nation's scientific pre-eminense.
We no longer live in an environment where NOK supplies most of the Phones, but we have a multitude of suppliers who rise on product merits and who live by the rules. Those players also need protection of a level playing field.
Lets start the 'Black Drum' roll - NOK, SAm can you hea.r the sound
