A U.S. District Court judge has dismissed an Apple lawsuit alleging that Motorola Mobility abused its standard-essential patents by charging rates that exceeded FRAND terms. Apple’s position was that 2.25 percent for each iPhone sold — the rate Motorola Mobility apparently wanted to charge — was excessive. It maintained that the court should set a rate of $1 or less per device. Apple said in the filing that it would proceed with further litigation if the court should render a decision it found unsatisfactory.
