So a near-Non Practicing Entity is enforcing standards-essential software patents in a European court, under arguably unfair, unreasonable, and discriminatory terms.

That's a lot of things the European Patent system is supposed to prevent, and exposes quite a number of loopholes.

I'll bite. How do you argue that?

We're taking the rest of my statement as accurate then? O:-)

Fine, so in addition to the fact that this whole action SHOULD be prima facie illegal in Europe; for the FRAND part (which is -to be fair- the weaker part of my argument, because this shouldn't be happening in the first place) :

* Forum shopping in Munich is at least somewhat unfair

* Implementors went $0.03, Uk court set interim rate of $0.365, now nokia is going for $0.69? We can argue unreasonable [1][3]

* Hisense settled at undisclosed terms, Acer and Asus were injuncted, so that counts towards discriminatory [2]
