Such a rosy picture when in fact we have experience that Company Lawyers dont think in those terms...we have examples of how Patents have destroyed the deployment of Standards due to participating Corporations all wanting their IPR money. It is clear IPR weighs heavily in the creation of standards...no other reason to participate for many Companies...

Or...

Get Patent law changed to allow registration of patents that are there purely for the benefit of mankind in order to prevent future problems with the likes of patent trolls.

These could not be used to extort license fees but purely as evidence of 'prior art' to prevent anyone blocking future use of the inventions.

I'm sure an industry collective of Microsoft, Cisco, Apple and a few others could easily buy a number of politicians to sponser such a change in the law, the RIAA and MPAA appear able to do it.

RAND and patent royalties are incompatible with the free world.

That's why Microsoft is supporting RAND.
