My big question for apple and others is whether it's possible that by opting to not get a volume license the patent for downstream users of their platform, they might therefore face a suit alleging contributory or secondary patent infringement? For example, taken from this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_infringement_under_Unite...), is a summary of the position in the UK: "By the supply, or offer to supply, in the United Kingdom, a person not entitled to work the invention, with any of the means, relating to an essential element of the invention, for putting the invention into effect, when it is known (or it is reasonable to expect such knowledge) that those means are suitable for putting, and are intended to put, the invention into effect in the United Kingdom."
