Scumbria,

You believe that it is OK to ship a specification for a product which uses other peoples unlicensed IP, and then expect to collect royalties on products made from your spec- without regard to the fact that your spec infringed?

Read Zeev's post more closely. That is not what he said.

Scum,

As usual you are spinning and twisting the truth.

1) A specification can NEVER infringe a patent, only a product can do that, in which case the owner of the patent must pursue the MANUFACTURER not the author of the spec.

2) By definition the material in an issued patent is published and CANNOT therefore be confidential.

I am sure that this smokescreen action by Infineon will be thrown out pretty promptly.
