This article is inaccurate or incomplete in that it doesn't mention the royalty cap. A more fair argument might be "the cap is too high" To take Qualcomm's POV, consider this analogy: if you had patented the microwave oven and you licensed that to appliance manufacturers. Those manufacturers then decided to offer new ones with a larger cavity for cooking larger meals. They could charge more for this new product, and might pay more in royalties. That's not particularly unfair. Apparently Apple's suppliers have been making phones under this licensing agreement since before apple entered the business. I sympathize with apple because unlike the microwave example, they truly do innovate a lot in this space. But they protect their inventions too.
