If a patent is cited in another patent, doesn't that just mean the new idear builds upon the older idear? Isn't the cite just to inform the examiner of the prior art so that he can decide whether the new idear is embodied within the old. I don't get how citing translates into Q not needing a licence! My point of posting the cites was to state that Q knew about the patent all along so it would seem unlikely that they would be blatant in infringing. If they did indeed go that route, who knows where else such ghosts are hiding. Q's dilligence really seems to have taken a back seat during the arrogant post HDR years. Q used citing to argue that they should get a bigger piece of the royalty pie. Why isn't that approach also applicable to this ITT case? If convicted after citing, that likely means triple damages.
