This isn't patent trolling. Apple and Ericsson had a license agreement and when it ended they couldn't agree on a new price and went to court about it. They've now reached a price they both agree to in this settlement.
- gnarbarian 11y agoI think some of these patents are pretty bogus. Take this patent for example: https://patents.google.com/patent/US7660417B2/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US7660417B2/en Is this a patent for an encryption handshake? I'm pretty sure I can find very similar flowcharts in my security textbook from 2002. http://www.slashroot.in/understanding-ssl-handshake-protocol http://www.slashroot.in/understanding-ssl-handshake-protocol
- throwawaykf05 11y agoYes, it is for one specific handshake, similar to many others. At a quick glance, the claims don't seem to cover any earthshaking innovation, but the introduction claims this makes it resistant to weaknesses in the underlying crypto algorithms that have been shown to be broken.
