Stock Farmer's arguments... You've already licensed to me, Q, but I don't like your rates, so that means I get it for free until you offer me rates I like Please don't attribute such baseless thinking to me. You would be more correct to say that I parse Nokia's position as (a) "You've already licensed to me, Q, the terms being irrevocable and FRAND, so you can't ask for an injunction, all you can ask for is the FRAND cash I owe you". (b) "There is indeed uncertainty about how much I owe you. You think I owe you more, I think I owe you less. Fair enough, until such time as we resolve this little dispute, I'll put what I think is right in the kitty, and we'll let the ALJ decide." The thread seems to be up in arms about Nokia's "bad faith" which really amounts to the same thing as not paying the credit card bill until the credit card company explains that strange call made on Tuesday the 23'rd. Only this is on an industrial scale.
