Yes, but what does " backed by " mean?
Does it mean money, or not? Because if not, then Fraunhofer does not exist.
But there is absolutely a problem here, because said 'mega businesses' actually should have a strategic imperative to want to make internet technologies more widespread.
Why on earth would MS want to limit their main line of business for a tiny big of IP related revenue?
It would seem to me, that G, MS, Huawei and all of the various patent holders should be trying their best to remove any and all barriers to adoption. There are enough bureaucratic hurdles in the way to worry about, let alone legal concerns.
Even if MS or whoever had to buy out some laggard IP owners who didn't want to play ball, it would probably still make sense for them.
Fraunhofer or anyone else are not in that situation, but the behemoths running vast surpluses are, it just seems shortsighted for them to hamstring any of this.
