Samsung should go to court with them
What happens if a judge rules in favor of a Microsoft injunction against selling Samsung-made Android phones? The trial could last years—or decades—and the whole time Samsung couldn't sell it's phones in the US.
- rbanffy 15y agoLet's hope judges are still capable of noticing an extortion racket when they see one.
- markokocic 15y agoI'm pretty sure that Samsung has enough patents to sue Microsoft in counter case and actually force them to negotiate.
- Tyrannosaurs 15y agoYou think a hardware company has a lot of patents Microsoft are currently breaching?
- markokocic 15y agoMS is also doing hardware with Xbox and their mice.
- rlpb 15y agoMicrosoft is already willing to license its patent to Samsung, and for a price that is known. If the court didn't issue an injunction, Microsoft would not really be harmed - if Samsung lost the case later it's quite clear what the damages would be and Microsoft have already made it clear that just financial compensation would be acceptable. If the court did issue an injunction, then Samsung could be irreparably harmed - and if Samsung subsequently win the case then it would be very difficult to make them whole again. IANAL. I don't see why any sensible court would issue such an injunction.
