....stop referring to agreeing to license patents under
FRAND/RAND terms as DONATING them?
The patents are NOT donated. Not to anyone. Donation means
giving them up some patent rights. RAND/FRAND aren't close.
Standards bodies COULD work on donated patents. Standards
bodies could insist on a royalty-free license to all comers
for the limited purpose of using the standard. That's a
donation. But they don't, because all the patent holding
companies want their slice of the pie for their precious
patents, and the theoretically independent standards bodies
caved.
Or, they could work on a model where the patent holder
grants a license with sublicense authority to the standard
body, who in turn is empowered to issue licenses to all
comers who want to implement the standard at published
rates, collects royalties and remits an agreed portion to
the donor (i.e. the standards bodies would "own" the patents
for purposes of the standards). They don't. Because the
companies who own the patents favor deals cut in secret over
openness, and again the standards bodies don't object.
A patent holder who agrees to RAND/FRAND doesn't "dontate"
the patent anywhere. They maintain exclusive ownership.
They maintain the right to effectively refuse (by setting an
exorbitant rate). They maintain the right to set rates in
secret based on secret negotiation with parties.
They ONLY thing they agree to do is "offer" what IN THEIR
ESTIMATION is a "reasonable" rate to all comers. Doesn't
have to be the same rate (which is why the "ND" is utterly
laughable). Doesn't have to actually BE reasonable
(standards bodies don't define or appear to have any
interest in opining on this).
That's not donation. That's patent-encumbering a standard,
and being able to hold a gun to the head of every potential
implementor of the standard (you wanna talk issues for FOSS
created by patents, well, that's it in a nutshell).
People with RAND/FRAND patents aren't the good guys.
They're not the white knights. They're not noble selfless
"donors" of their patents to the greater good. They're the
ones with the legal toll gates on the road that ought to be
free. It's better than gangs of thieves on the same road,
but hardly someone to be thanked.
You want to talk "donating" a patent? Talk about granting a
royalty-free license. Or assigning the patent to an open
source defense league. THAT'S donation.
Motorola's not the good guy. They're the slightly less bad
guy. And the fact that Apple's behavior is all black hat
evil doesn't change the fact that Motorola's position here
really IS unreasonable. Really, they want 2.5% of iPhone
sales (~$25 per unit) for a minor patent on a small portion
of the 3G protocol? That's reasonable? Really? I in no
way condone Apple's behavior, but that's not a reason to
endorse Motorola's.
Sorry, but I am so friggin' sick of the partisanship here.
Everything winds up good guy/bad guy. Hey, remember when
Novell could do no wrong and SCO was evil? That was right
up until the Attachmate deal. These are CORPORATIONS.
They're all evil, especially if the law is on their side.
Reserve the "good guy" words like "donating" to the people
who deserve it.[ Reply to This | # ]

Is there such a thing as changing venue in a civil case, as there is in criminal
cases?

"For sure, a jury trial is Motorola's best hope for a more
even playing field,
but since it'll be in Seattle, who
knows?
After the Apple lynching of Samsung
in Apple's backyard
courtroom by that tilted jury, my faith in juries living
and
working in the shadow of a large corporation has been
somewhat
strained.
But for sure a jury there is better than a
judge
in Microsoft's
shadow."
It's a sad system we have in place when we would prefer
the former to the latter, especially considering the latter
could/should
lose
their job for showing favoritism (but when does that
every
happen)--- IANAL [ Reply to This | # ]

Wikipedia says peers are
"People who are equal in such respects as age, education or social class
etc"
which is mostly what it means yoday in the uk.
and the next definition talks about members of the peerage.[ Reply to This | # ]
