I am just wondering if Samsung cannot than make a PR campaign maligning MS for their patent trolling I'm sure they could, but business is not like an episode of Degrassi Junior High. Samsung wants as many partners as possible. If a carrier wants WP devices, they want to be the one to make them. Android, they want to be there too. While Apple is suing Samsung, I'm sure Samsung would take more Apple orders if possible. If anything, Samsung may push MS to collect royalties from other vendors, to level the playing field. And this is probably why MS is on a roll. If one company is going to pay royalties, they want to make it easier for MS to collect royalties from the next company. So they're more likely to provide collateral, in various ways, to strengthen Microsoft's claims. MS can use this to then go down the street to LG and say, "Samsung and HTC just openly admitted that this technology infringes. It appears you use it to." I'm not a fan of the patent trolling, but I must say that I tip my hat to the guy in the MS IP group running this.
