Biggest issue I have with patent economic warfare is the barrier of entry these patent warchest and fighting prevent from any startup or others to enter the fray. Whether valid patent enforcement or not, you need to set aside many $million in legal fees just to navigate these shark infested waters.
I also find it odd the new ARM investment by Intel (Anchor investment $10 billion to IPO), while Arm is also a subsidiary of Softbank. Makes one wonder if there are any under the table agreements in terms of cooperation and investment between these giants.
Patents can protect startups, without them startups would just get crushed by reverse engineering from big players. It also is an incentive for large corporations to keep innovating. Let's not forget patents completely expire after 20 years. While that sounds like an eternity, it's not. x86_64 for example is expired. Anyone in the world can now make chips with those instructions (the initial release). This forces Intel and AMD to come up with new instructions (like AVX), lest they face competition from everyone.
There are a lot of problems in relation INTC and the State and Federal court system; 28 USC 455 bias and prejudice, FRCP 60(b)(3) extrinsic frauds, extrajudicial and political interference, Canon issues, bar fraternal on whoever's take.
Specific ARM and Intel, ARM does this well knowledge of every fabricator's process to sustain availability of PDKs across the ecosystem all process lithography nodes and variants that support primarily foundries and customers; time to design process validation, design verification, yield, volume manufacturability meeting end product time to market requirement. ARM availability on various Intel processes is what ARM does for every foundry. Intel owning a chunk of ARM is something else and no different from any end customer owning ARM because foundries are their own unique ARM customer set. Intel should not take ownership in ARM just like all foundries are that neutral state.
