Maybe Samsung gets something out of it? Cross-patent licensing deal?
It's also worth noting that MicroSoft started looking for license payments while Samsung was still in court with Apple of patent issues. It's very possible they didn't want another large lawsuit.
- zmmmmm 11y agoI think Microsoft in a number of cases has made the cross licensing so lucrative that companies end up ahead by licensing the patents. They would do this, of course, to establish the precedent that they can then use to go on an leverage against smaller players. It would not surprise me at all if Samsung was in this situtation.
