Ehh, Erixxson's loss is the consumer's gain.

Patent law is far overreaching in both breadth and length. Anything that undercuts it is a good thing.

I agree patent laws are abused/overused (cough cough Qualcomm) but the solution is not to get rid of them altogether, but to reform them to make them more sensible.

In any case, I think right now Ericsson definitely needs to assume that Chinese will use their technology at some point and plan for that contingency.
