Adjudicating Q's FRAND obligations is one thing. However, non-payment of royalties but continued use by Apple and its ODMs of Q's SEPs is another. Q has no FRAND obligation to permit that. Where is the interest of the industry in that?

Plus, I keep reading references to interest of the industry and/or consumers re injunctive relief re putative infringement of (at least a couple of) Q's non-SEPs. What has that got to do with considerations of granting or not granting of injunctive relief?

To be accurate, Slacker, I have never referred to the "impact on the industry", but rather have referred to the "custom and usage" within the industry. The latter is evidence of the industry's accepted normal pattern and practice over decades of commercial SEP licensing.

Btw, what mobile communications industry would exist without Qualcomm enabling R&D?
