> I don't know the details of the patents in question, but I assume they are hardware patents. In any event, the idea of either Intel or Samsung complaining about some other company subverting competition is hilarious. Qualcomm is in the IPR and in the chip market. The others are buyers of IPR and sell chips implementing said IPR. The key is that Qualcomm is self-dealing(!) here. That position is a very powerful one and the way they strike individual agreements and openly or indirectly bundle things raises a lot of questions. Bundling stuff from a position of power is what gets attention by the FTC - prominent examples are Windows Explorer and the IBM monopoly case way back.
