Apple could always pay to use the patented IP. I could barely type that with a straight face. They'll never do that after being sued.

- fritzo 3y agoHonest question: why not? Would that set a precedent and invite a deluge of lawsuits from every direction?
- burnte 3y agoNo, it's just that Apple has a history of cutting off companies permanently. Once they decide not to do business with you, you're done and they'll do what they have to in order to avoid using you. In this case, I wager they'd rather engineer around this patent holder than pay them since they took the risk of going to production without licensing the patent.
