It does appear that the patents that Apple is guilty of infringing are actually standards essential (FRAND) which does not bode well for anyone.

- markmark 14y agoOf course FRAND doesn't mean you can use patents without a license, it means that they have to be offered for licensing under FRAND terms. Presumably you are supposed to go to court if you believe you aren't being offered FRAND terms, Apple just went ahead with no licence at all.
