Apple have already told the courts what they think a "simple"
essential patent is worth. For a design patent I think I remember they quoted
$30 per device, I suspect Motorla will remind the court of this.

Apple has to be careful. Here are some of my thoughts.
1. Giving courts an ultimatum is not a good thing to do in my
opinion. I think now we'll definitely see a court ordered rate of
more than $1 per device.
2. Apple has shown that mobile patents are worth billions. How
much more so for the essential piece that makes mobile work?
3. It's arguments that it makes will be used against it. That's
how lawyering works.
4. Judge Posner's ruling says injunction might be necessary if
a licensee refuses to license the SEPs at a reasonable rate. A
court determined reasonable rate would fit that bill. If Apple
refuses to take the license determined in court especially after
bringing it to the court in my opinion would lead this court to
ban all if Apple's devices that implement those standard's. See
my 1 above.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I think this offer demonstrates Apple's thinking. They don't
want to pay a percentage as they feel it is taxing their
'inventiveness'. Apple charge premium prices for similar
spec products (iPad mini is 70% more than an N7 in the UK)
and they see 2.25% as equivalent to 4% for others. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
