hier nochmal aus Agora ne Stellungnahme zum Thema wie und wann

My quote:
"What this case means: EVERY MICROPROCESSOR INFRINGES!"
Your quote:
"I seriously wish this saying is true, as I also believed before the trial. There was an episode during Dr. O's tesimony. When our lawyer ask Dr. O the quality of 336, he replied in saying 336 is widely used and everying that uses microprocessor uses 336 technology (wording may not be exact, defer to pacer to see what was said exactly.)"
In my opinion the judge wanted Dr. O to stay on track with the TI and Qualcomm chips in evidence in this case. It does not mean the generalization is not true. Many other chips use the same clocking system as is in the 336 patent.
Your quote:
"My impression is that there is nothing there right now that can compete head to head with 336 technology. The design around is costly and the time factor might prevent infringers to try that route successfully. Common sense will say that 366 technology cannot be superior forever. I wish I know how long 336 can keep leading in market place. Just hope it does in the time frame of its enforceability. Nano"
The 336 patent expires in June of 2015. If accused infringers have been notified there is a period of several years (6?) after June of 2015 that we can collect license fees up until that date (from the date of notification of infringement until June of 2015 when the patent expires. There is no way to collect after that date. Some people talk about getting some kind of extension but I do not think that is realistic. Sometimes drug manufacturers can do it with their patents from what I have seen. |
