The ARM case does seem to be working out fairly well for most involved. On the other hand, look at x86. While of course competing with Intel would be hard under any circumstances, I bet the market for x86 processors (compatible with x86 software) would be more competitive if ISA patent licenses weren't limited to a certain few grandfathered-in companies.
