Apple didn't license the patents directly from Samsung, but they did through Qualcomm. Apple claims that Samsung has exhausted their patent claims since they've already gotten paid by Qualcomm for those patents.
- clhodapp 14y agoInteresting. I guess this is what is referenced here: http://www.zdnet.com/samsung-sacrificed-qualcomm-truce-for-apple-war-7000001348/ http://www.zdnet.com/samsung-sacrificed-qualcomm-truce-for-a... According to the article it was not a license agreement, but rather a contract not to sue. Apparently, Samsung claims that the agreement was terminated when Apple sued them, but I would not be surprised if we see Qualcomm doing something to make clear to Samsung that it does not appreciate this move.
- gnaffle 14y agoOK, that puts it in a different perspective - the question at hand now is whether those patents are covered by the ETSI FRAND agreements, and if those agreements are relevant in Australia.
