As I wrote seven days ago:

"Broadcom expects patent exhaustion to apply when licensed by Qualcomm, but for their own patents they intend to license not just chipset manufacturers, and not just handset manufacturers, but service providers too?

To my knowledge, no one licenses service providers.

What hypocrites!!!"

Message 23694673

But the idea that a service provider actually would license the Broadcom patents never crossed my mind.

Is there a bright side here? Well, this VZ-BRCM license agreement certainly highlights the argument that the downstream parties were the ones harmed, the same downstream parties that Broadcom chose not to charge with infringement before the ITC.
