Wow, apple doesn't think these terms are relevant?

Greedy and narrowminded, typical apple.

At least Microsoft licenses its patents at the same rate for all the OEMs, most pay $5-15 per handset for them depending on what all all patents are utilized. Apple should learn from this.

mate your so one sided its unbelievable, you must be the most unreasonable and biased person on here. considering apple fired the first shot shouldnt you be saying ''apple needs to apologize, drop all these petty patents and court battles and use that money to re-invent the iphone''

8. Mxyzptlk posted on 21 Nov 2012, 15:07 3 13

Why should Apple apologize for Samsung copying their ideas and designs?

im sorry but apple never have there own idea's they repackage and market other peoples ideas to make it look like theres. besides by your logic the maker of the first ever mobile phone should sue every other company as they have copied right?

with apple way of doing things innovation and tech are dead, no company will have any room to play and develop there idea's in fear of breaching some stupid vague patent

besides as mentioned before by others lg and the prada came out before the iphone so lg should be suing

Sorry, you aren't KA from Germancarforum are you? Same about of bias and one sided blindness in his argument, it's ridiculous. Blinded by badge, nothing more. That's what Apple has become in the end.

I'll ask you again. How much is Apple paying LG for the Prada design? How much are they paying Palm for the icon grid? How much are they paying Neonode for swipe to unlock?

Samsung didn't copy Apple any more than Apple copied others.

And, if and when Apple come out with a TV, and its a rectangle with thin bezels with apps (like every Samsung, LG, etc...) TV out there, what will they pay for copying that design? And, where will be your cries of outrage over it. Were all know the answer to that one.

chaoticrazor is so very true. mxyzptlk has nothing in his/her head except for that avatar.

lol talk about fairness because Apple has always been fair as we all know..

So how much should they ask for the LTE patents, in fairness?

7. Mxyzptlk posted on 21 Nov 2012, 15:06 2 10

They got in trouble with the government for trying that.

No, they didn't, because Samsung's LTE patents are not FRAND, and to quote Apple, they are not required to license them at all.

Apple doesn't do "fair business." When licensing from Apple, it's going to cost big. If licensing to Apple, they'll pay $1 per device. And that is Apple being generous.

20. tedkord posted on 21 Nov 2012, 15:43 2 0

Right. Because Apple's offer of $20 per phone while only paying out $0.001 was both fair and serious.

What color is the sky in your world?

You really make a good spoke man for apple just as stubborn and unreasonable.
