Historically, FRAND, while generally a fuzzy notion, has not included any statement of intentions to not pursue IPR matters through a court, certainly not as intended in an IEEE LoA. The first time I saw this connection was in an upstream post of an article concerning CSIRO's efforts to prosecute its patents in products covering .11n.

It seems there's some concerted revisionism going on, presumably intended to expand the idea of FRAND, in the hopes that it will take on a bigger, more defined role in whipping patent licensing organizations. I can't see this logic/public perception effort swaying a judge, but who knows? Anywhere where judges are elected, presumably the judge is sensitive to public perception.

Cheers. Rob
