To take the simplest imaginary possibility, HTC got paid off by as much as they
could have realized in the lawsuit, either with cash or a licensing agreement.
This is unreasonable, but easily imagined.
I am reminded of the story of a man who made a deal with the devil, selling his
soul for three wishes. I don't remember the others, but his second wish was for
"wealth beyond the dreams of avarice." He got nothing, because
"nothing is beyond the dreams of avarice."
So when I say that very little is beyond human imagination, I mean it in two
contrary senses.

... Apple's claims can be resurrected if HTC discloses the terms of the
agreement.
Since Apple has to disclose the HTC agreement now in the Samsung case, HTC is
going to be asked to verify it.

My bet is that it is covered in the licensing agreement. Apple managed to
squeeze out an agreement that says as long as you play nice by these rules and
pay us we will not sue you again. For HTC's part, it was a bargaing chip that
they were willing to give up.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
