Now this was an interesting comment:

I find it surprising that by licensing their products and even producing it for others, big companies are much kinder than smaller companies who would sue you instantly for patent infringement. The same illusion is present with governments. You would think that local governments like City and County are better than the Federal government, when in fact local governments bully us the most.
***Very true... whereas big businesses allocate nearly nothing in resources, relatively speaking, to IPR, small businesses mount suicide missions when IPR is at stake. I mention this in my book and here on the blog, the most recent case being glassy baby.
And yes, between cops, meter maids and inspectors, local government is pond for pound much nastier. But I must say, with the TSA, the feds managed to balance the books very quickly. Do you think as the Feds find themselves shrinking in influence and power worldwide they will up their game?***
Where can we read more about OEM practices? Also, where can we read about HP using Canon technology, Lincoln using Ford parts, and Bang & Olufsen using Panasonic parts? What makes OEM manufacturers license their work when they could make a lot more money by having a monopoly?
***To the left is highlighted a book by Bodrin and Levine, Against Intellectual Monopoly, and the the right you see under intellectual property 167 posts, some of which refer on to other writers. Let me know when you work through all of that...
