Isn't the decider about Intel vs. AMD not technology, but the 15- or 20- year exclusive contract they have? (Just like with ye olde Motorola.)

Tesla is also like Apple selling tightly integrated software with premium hardware, while eschewing useless buttons, knobs, and dashboards in favor of a simple user interface. Tesla is the Apple of automobiles, so much so that I wonder why Apple i…

A better analogy for a market category is not servers, but "workstations". Many companies got big with servers until they didn't, like DEC, Sun Microsystems, etc., and Linux had something to do with that. Also, many companies like MIPS & SGI …

Refresher: There are two parallel systems involved with patent validity. One is the patent office itself who issued the patents and wants to nullify them saying they were overbroad and anticipated by network standards committee documents (RFCs) …

So, the complaint they seem to be making is that Apple is a mature, possibly non-growth replacement-market business, like apparel, automobiles, and entertainment/leisure. That industry classification is called "consumer discretionary" with an avera…

To the contrary, the most recent CAFC decision only affected the Texas court case, not PTAB rulings, per the article from Law 360 cited in the parent: "The appeals court dealt only with the Texas case, upholding the lower court's decision in a one-…

The problem with patents like those held by VirnetX is multi-fold. Not only were they purchased by a troll (i.e., a patent assertion entity [or PAE] and also a non-practicing entity [NPE] at first), but they are overbroad, which slipped by the paten…

Much of the dust-up with Qualcomm and actual trolls like VirnetX has to do with the concept of patent "holdup". This informs the issues of FRAND, etc. mentioned in earlier comments. An article from the FTC explains things well, with case histori…

Left unstated here is that this is just the Texas court adjudication, using lay juries who are not told about ... the parallel system of the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), which has declared the patents at issue entirely invalid! PT…
