Please produce evidence of Samsung's abuse
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, December 12 2012 @ 03:24 PM EST
Sure, you're starting to see the advancement of these bogus
theories in collateral and unreleated cases such as Realtek
Semi v. LSI, 2012 WL 4845628 (N.D. Cal. 2012).

This is what weaponizing these patents is doing. The
strategy spearheaded by the QE team (pace Google and the
manufacturers) will make the overall patent litigation
system worse, not better.

Again, this doesn't make Apple good, or the patent system
good, but this is pointing out something which is kind of
important. When you're a fan, you tend to lose perspective.
Blame Apple (or Microsoft, or whatever) for starting it if
you want. But some of the aggressive and novel theories that
have been used, if they gain any traction, will do a lot
more harm to the industry in the long run.

And we are already starting to see it happen. But hey, don't
believe me. Give it some time.

I think since there is investigations going on about FRAND abuse, he is under
the impression that companies that have FRAND patents are misusing them in the
courts.

FACT: Samsung approached Apple with a fair opening offer.
FACT: Rather than negotiating Apple goes to the courts claiming patent
infringement and FRAND abuse.
FACT: Samsung is only using its FRAND patents in a counter suit against Apple.
