>Also, a few years ago, Nokia sued Apple based on wifi FRAND patents, how did it end up? With a settlement in favor of Nokia. If FRAND patents were impossible to enforce, do you think it would have ended with a settlement?
It's not that FRAND patents are impossible to enforce. Nokia sued Apple after neither side could get an agreement about the licensing terms. Apple held that the terms Nokia was demanding were not fair. That was the entire reasoning about the suits.
At the end of the day, it was not about whether or not Apple would pay Nokia. That was a foregone conclusion. The entire suit was over how much Apple would pay.
