I mean, this is what they agree to in order to keep making the product. This was a settlement and is what apple agreed to instead of having to discontinue the property theft and pay damages. consider this intellectual property in the way you would consider copyright, if i gave out an album but had stolen a song on it I could license the song and give the original artist a cut off the top or else i could be sued and give up my ability to keep distributing the album.  It&#x27;s not that this is up for grabs it&#x27;s that this is what they are willing to give up to continue using ericsson&#x27;s property and ameliorate previous damages.
