Stealing IP is not just confined to the Chinese companies. If you view anything long enough, you can certainly find a flaw. I look at it as a second chance for IDCC to abandon the creative licensing ups, downs and failures for a transparent FRAND licensing effort. I am tired of IDCC trying to select winners and losers in the wireless market. Why not license everyone, continue to invent and root on the entire wireless market growing as a result? Why not give it a shot to have your business customers be confident that you will deal with their competitors in the same fashion that you deal with them? This shift has been past due. The once dominant players are folding and the root causes have been loss of integrity and a refusal to change with the times. Nobody likes paying royalty, but it feels a lot better if your competitors are writing checks also. Besides the industry is fast learning that an attack on the patent systems can blow up in everybody's face. The last thing that patent attorneys want is an accepted FRAND license. The coming expiration of Apple creates a golden opportunity to get every company playing on a level playing field at FRAND Stadium. I cannot imagine how an attempt to set an industry accepted FRAND royalty rate can possibly be worse than announcements of creative license agreements without any financial information and correlation upon which to evaluate a value. All of the naysaying and whining spewed on this board will not convince me that this new venue is not the right way to go. I have been screaming for uniformity in license terms for 15 years and certainly can see no real issues to quit now.
