==Anti-trust scrutiny==
Patents in pools must cover complements. Including two substitute patents in a pool would be price-fixing (i.e., using the pool to set a price above that which would result from competition). Furthermore, because the DOJ will be aware of the licensing rates and must 'approve' (i.e., not prosecute) them, one would assume that they are 'competitive' and low.
