All this fractious fighting over IPR may one day result in the worst of all possible outcomes, government intervention. It is entirely possible that SSOs and SDOs will be legally mandated to fix a % royalty for the IPR used in a standard, then be legally required to appoint a board of presumptively neutral arbiters whose job will be to weigh the value of the IPR on a sliding scale, with the owner of the most useful getting the highest share of the royalty and the least useful of course taking less. This would take the courts and the ITC out of the process because the courts would review only to determine if abuse has taken place in assigning a share to each participant.
