I knew not that Darien CT had a claim on Sazeracs.

Probably akin to Erickson claims on CDMA pre 1999 (ggg)

The Nokia spokesperson spun it well as they are paid to do. But they still are chirping about FRAND and not the merits of the IPR..." Qualcomm belatedly declared certain patents as essential after standards had been set and significant investments had already been made within the industry. Qualcomm violated its ETSI obligations by refusing to negotiate a FRAND license royalty for the use of declared essential IPR, but instead sought to exclude Nokia from using the IPR through court actions seeking injunctions and exclusionary relief. "

The belated part is interesting and perhaps the crux of the matter as the IPR and Nokia's liberal use of it seems no longer in question.

When in fact was notice given that certain of the patents that enabled GPRS/EDGE functionality were in fact in violation of their IPR? Did they provide written notice about it when it occurred? Did they offer to license it then and there? Did they save this card for a rainy day but appropriately safeguard their legal rights to the technology at the same time?

Galatoroire's is alive and well and no waiting since few tourists. Commanders has yet to open but is rumored too this fall.
