What’s the alternative? Not play the patent game and die by the patent anyway?
- serf 3y agoabiding by the laws and weaponizing the law for your own benefit are two different things.

Pay for the international rights regardless of whether you think a patent invalid in some market. Apple isn't exactly struggling for cash at the moment. It can afford to pay for the patent rather than stage what is starting to look like a PR event.
