Re: Standards?

Jut because a standard incorporates some IP, doesn't magically make that IP licenseable under FRAND.

There have to be agreements in place with the owner of the patent for that to occur. If the owner of the IP refuses the FRAND agreement, the standards body can't force it to agree to allowing its patents to be licensed as FRAND.
