It is difficult to find solutions, but some of them are eminent domain, Laches, patent pools or other agreements on rights and copyrights.

The Manufacturers Aircraft Association was an early example of a government-enforced patent pool.

In some circumstances, field-of-use arrangements (particularly those of patent pools) may violate the antitrust laws.

Getting Motorola's patent pool should be of great assistance here.

This was the first patent pool, a process which enables the production of complicated machines without legal battles over patent rights.

In patent law, a patent pool is a consortium of at least two companies agreeing to cross-license patents relating to a particular technology.

As in these examples many industries could not function without patent pools since the coordination costs (risk, negotiation, etc.) would otherwise be too high.

Patent holders (including other patent pools) outside the pool can still create cost and risk for the industry.

Since the 1990s, patent pools have been viewed by U.S. regulatory authorities in a positive light.

The objective of such a patent pool, however, is not to sue other companies.
