Once the deal is made it will be retroactive so why rush.
everything is negotiable WOULD'NT EXPECT THE MOTHERLOAD IF THEY WAIT IT OUT
in the nokia apple deal, Apple reported the one time payment from Nokia as "
non material" at the commisions request for information, meaning they where surprised that such a big deal had a non material payment after infringing for 4 or more years on apples patent ???
it is what it is
Apple has agreed to license wireless phone patents owned by Nokia that sparked a long-running legal dispute between the two companies.
The deal will settle all patent litigation between Nokia and Apple, and the two will withdraw their respective complaints filed earlier with the U.S. International Trade Commission. In addition, Apple will pay Nokia an undisclosed one-time fee and on-going royalties, Nokia said today.
"We are very pleased to have Apple join the growing number of Nokia licensees," Stephen Elop, president and chief executive officer of Nokia, said in a statement. "This settlement demonstrates Nokia's industry leading patent portfolio and enables us to focus on further licensing opportunities in the mobile communications market."
