It's not an issue where this judge isn't an expert on
international, or German, or such laws, it's that the rest of
the world is not expert on the (apparently questionable if not
nearly insane) thought processes going on in this judge's
mind.[ Reply to This | # ]

The short answer is "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts
absolutely". The courts in the US control more and more of
economic activities. The method where litigation is more
beneficial than negotiations increases the courts' power while
damaging the economy. (Good for lawyers, bad for Engineers.)
Such actions, by judges who will never have to face election,
reminds me an old saying from before the American Revolution:
"No taxation without representation!" [ Reply to This | # ]

"But his position is that the parties are deadlocked, but my view is that
if he stepped out of the middle of the dispute, Microsoft would likely negotiate
in good faith."
M$ negotiate in good faith? Really? When pigs fly perhaps,
but I would doubt it even then.

In other words, at the end of the case, the
parties could return
to the bargaining table precisely where
they started
He
realises the fundamental futility of the case before
him, but instead of
throwing it out as it clearly cannot go
anywhere according to logic, he decides
that the best
approach to make the case productive is to interpret law in
such
a way as he can create a contract where none existed,
and against the will of
the parties to the contract.
Presumably he will write the contract and
issue a court
order that it be signed. Maybe he'll sign it himself and
issue
an order that he is able to act on Motorola's behalf.
The world is a
much simpler place when our realise that
an agreement can be arbitrarily
created and imposed upon a
situation regardless of the intent of the people
involved.

What is the legal definition of a standard? It is not limited to documents
issued by standards bodies and professional bodies.
Where an
individual company holds a legally defined monopoly on a de facto industry
standard, even when is is a trade secret, protected by a non-FRAND patent or the
company does not want to licence it, The courts can, and do, fine companies vast
sums of money and direct them to agree peppercorn royalties for the use of the
patents and trade secrets.
Microsoft may not have many of its standards
published by international standards bodies, but it does have a very large
portfolio of de facto IT standards, some of which it licenses at exorbitant
rates (e.g. the FAT standard) and some of which it refuses to licence to stifle
competition (e.g. SAMBA).
Microsoft may think that they have come up
with a very beneficial new US global law in this case, but look what happened in
Reports on the Issues at the EU v. MS
Hearings, when the spiked boot was on the other foot.
The judge is
making a huge legal error that I would expect to generate an amicus
curiae brief from the United States saying that, as a principle of general
application, courts should assume that legislators take
account of the
legitimate sovereign interests of other
nations when they write American laws.
Foreign conduct is [generally] the domain of foreign law and foreign law may
embody different policy judgments about
the relative rights of competitors, and
the public.
However, if Microsoft prevail, they have much more to lose
than a few standard essential patent royalty streams. The EU, China and the rest
of Asia, and South America might decide that peppercorn royalties for Microsoft
de facto standards might not be legal, but is an excellent idea, especially if
it can be enforced using global antitrust legislation.
I have seen no
signs that the judge in this case is offering to acquire antitrust jurisdiction
on behalf of the European Union. Let the EU draw inspiration from this new US
global law and raise a few more IT standards with the Microsoft
Corporation.--- Regards

the rest of the world see's what the USA is now doing and will
not only ignore bad rulings , but may actually reverse others
and will move to curtail these trade war actions.
That's all it is a once great nation trying desperately to

Nothing there really seems *that* unreasonable. It does look like it might be
headed towards a fairly terrible outcome, but I'm not really convinced that's
necessarily because of the judge - he hasn't exactly been handed an easy
situation here. Hopefully he agrees that yes, it's reasonable for a RAND
negotiation to include some degree of cross licensing at least though.
Both parties are blatantly unreasonable and are not negotiating - MS is asking
for ridiculously low rates and Motorola ridiculously high (yes, they're not that
dissimilar to the rumoured android tax numbers, but do you think those aren't
ridiculously high?). They're both unwilling to compromise - Motorola because
this is really their only play to try to force a cross licensing agreement and
avoid the android tax since some of these patents are actually sticking (how?!)
and Microsoft because well... it's Microsoft, why miss a chance to get paid for
someone else's work?
Would they negotiate in good faith if he stepped out of the way... that seems
unlikely? The stakes are way too high and besides... it's Microsoft.
The one area I strongly disagree on though is that MS are free to pursue
injunctions while Motorola is barred from doing so. That's a really ugly
situation and simply reverses the problem the restraining order was intended to
solve - that should have applied to both parties or not at all.[ Reply to This | # ]
