Earlier quoted context omitted.
it will only help apple, not you. the article convenietly leaves out the pricing rules being disputed. remember that there is already regulations for std patents to be priced reasonably and non discrimatory. what apple is hunting here, is a discount. nothing else.
These are all FRAND patents that the dispute is over. In short, Apple is claiming that they aren't priced reasonably, which is a reasonable claim to make. Why should Apple pay Qualcomm more for a radio in a 128GB iPhone than a 32GB iPhone?
because the royalties are proportional to the profit. since the patent claim is the profits wouldnt exist without the original work. it's just like tax works. a judge cannot declare that illegal without criticizing all of tax law.
