since Apple never made a counter-offer before filing the
lawsuit, Motorola's
original rate proposal stands
Actually, I'm
not so sure it does still stand (though I could be wrong; IANAAY: I Am Not An
Accountant Yet):
Apple's reaction to Motorola's offer was to sue and want
the court to decide a counter-offer but say they would only accept the court's
counter-offer if it was less than 1%. That sounds very much to me like they
rejected Motorola's original offer, and are in fact making a counter-offer
(using the court as an [appointed] agent).
It is clear that Apple has never
accepted the offer made by Motorola so Motorola is perfectly within their rights
to revoke their offer; in fact, Apple's reaction of suing is quite a clear
indication that they have rejected Motorola's offer in which case the offer
automatically no longer stands; if it is a case that Apple has made a
counter-offer via the court acting as its agent, then Motorola's original offer
also automatically no longer stands. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
