You missed the "Facebook revoked Voxer’s access to key components of the Facebook platform". That isn't a good look when you exclude the competition even if you own the platform. Ask Microsoft how well that works in court.

Its not an antitrust lawsuit its a patent infringement lawsuit

in fact its the exact opposite of an antitrust lawsuit since patents themselves are a 20 year state-sanctioned monopoly

Actions taken against a party factor into any lawsuit.

> that led to Voxer sharing its patents

Wait what does this mean? Isn't the whole point of patents that it's supposed to be public? If so, how could you "share" them any more than you already did when publishing the patent?

The question is whether you would hold the same opinion if the patent holder never made their own app at all

Because since this is a patent lawsuit the existence of a video technology patent is all that matters

Not the ways facebook did grimy actions

This isnt fundamentally different than other software patent litigation threads, so yes I am suggesting a double standard and am here to confirm it

> copied some of the technologies

That's the part people are disagreeing with. The patents are overly broad and the Judge is well-known for siding with patent trolls.

So is Voxer patent trolling here? Does it matter because it is meta? Does their earlier meeting about the voxer app actually factor in to it?
