2.25% is slightly less that Samsung wants for it's FRAND patents and is a whole lot less than the 6% Apple wanted for it's patents.
Apple and MS seemed to want the mobile radio patent owners to give away their technologies for free but are unwilling to license their own patents on reasonable terms
- tzs 14y agoWhat Apple patents has Apple promised to license to all comers under FRAND terms in exchange for getting those patents into required parts of international standards?
- felipeko 14y agoWhat Motorola's patent they promised to give for cheap? FRAND does not mean cheap. It never meant. Microsoft and Apple are trying to change the term now, because they want to tax Android products, and cheapening SEP is the easiest way to do that, because that would disarm all others OEMs, and they would be able to tax them with "utility" patents.
- youngtaff 14y agoFair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory - if everyone else is willing to pay 2.25% then that seems pretty fair...
