Apple built a product that was innovative but clearly derivative of what Motorola had been selling for decades, why shouldn't Motorola defend itself in the market it created?


They can. So long as they don't try and license their FRAND patents using non-FRAND terms.


FRAND does not mean that everyone pays the same absolute amount.


It does mean that they are Fair and Reasonable. 2.25% of the total sale value is neither.
