I admit it's a smart move to go on more abstract level in dispute and even bring in political colour.
Nevertheless I still think that ongoing patent dispute is strictly business. It has to be win-win situation and it has to be based on current and objective circumstances.

re: What is at stake in this war is the future of R&D think tanks and the United States

... respectfully, this is an antiquated notion.

... new, and future, R&D 'think tanks' are, and will be, in Asia.

... and certainly those of 'US' multinationals ---

... 'our' sociopathic (by charter and fiduciary duty) corporate institutions, regally imbued with 'personhood' (due to an intentional, flawed reading of a dead Supreme Court Justice's case notes and a corrupt, crony 19th century congress) are presently completing the hollowing out of their mother country prior to departing - now fallow fields - for ripe pickings to the east...

... the US is simply no longer a meaningful part of this equation -- and very likely, expendable.

... as to the sanctity of (specifically, or especially US) intellectual property -- its fate is invariably tied to strength of Empire, which appears, at least at present, entirely on the wane...
