"Wouldn't appealing the waiver ruling of the video case based upon previous licensing initiatives and prior declaration of the patents in suit to the ITU ISO/IEC MPEG committee (I trust?) support the postulation of c2 in this post?" Texas Instruments has only declared 8 essential patents to ETSI. Interestingly, it also makes a "9th declaration" with the following note (no Patent No., no Patent title, and no ETSI Deliverable No). "Texas Instruments France has informed ETSI that, in relation to UMTS, TI (and/or affiliates) has many patents and that it would be burdensome to identify whether or not any particular patent applies to a particular proposal. TI (and/or affiliates) has a practice of filing patent applications on innovative developments in its various business areas, but cannot tell in advance the scope of the patents, if any, that may issue on such applications." -- webapp.etsi.org (my highlighting) How do you suppose that would fly in Judge Brewster's court? Sorry, that's not a direct link. You have to do a search on "Texas Instruments."
