depends on the meanings of the following....
LG ELECTRONICS USA--(no name mention) FlashR/Xlicense certain patents
CASIO AMERICA-- all foreign and domestic patents including FlashR/Xlicense
NIKON--(no name mention) FlashR
OLYMPUS AMERICA-- all foreign and domestic patents including FlashR
SANYO NORTH AMERICA-- (no name mention)FlashR
AVID ELECTRONICS-- (no name mention) FlashR/Xlicense certain patents
====================================...
1. AVID and LG have similar arrangements...
2. Nikon and Sanyo have similar arrangements...
3. Casio has a particular arrangement...
4. Olympus has a piticular arrangement...
Between the four arrangements above.....they are all indifferent arrangements, where there is a one time settlement amount noted for each. However, to me there is clearly a difference between Casio, Olympus and the rest of them with regard to e.Digitals supplied IP.
IMO, FlashR is not the whole ball of wax where 4 of them settled on just that account.
