Apple has the most to lose in a patent war, specifically because they're the cash king. $100 billion in cash and soon to be $40 billion a year in profit, up for grabs by patent lawsuits and trolls.
When you have all the money, and only 3% of the patents, you've made an extreme miscalculation in starting a patent war.
Motorola Mobility is by far the patent king in that realm. Apple is stupid for starting a war that they could lose tens of billions over long term. It was a fit of rage by Jobs that caused them to start firing salvos. Not his finest decision making.
