Rockstar Drops Suit Against Huawei

I didn't like the sounds of this consortium when it was formed an I certainly don't like it now. It didn't and doesn't make sense other than for the sole purpose to bully and create anti-competitive measures. Google recently lost a court battle and had a patent rendered invalid for purchasing motorola to use it just for suing others. This consortium was formed for the same intent. There is no good reason why several very large companies should tag team just for patents unless the above mentioned was the directive.The overall premise is power in numbers and money. This whole thing was and is a D-bag move. We know who is behind it and why.

This consortuim should be dissolved with the patents being bid on.
