Would rather post this on the blog, but since I can't I'll put it here... Given that the "chairman" refers to the chairman (Lee Kun-hee) of Samsung Electronics, consider these numbers: Samsung Electronics revenue in 2011: $149 billion USD Samsung Telecommunications revenue in 2011: $21 billion USD Even in a North American style business he would probably have more pressing concerns than a ruling that affects only a very small part of the business he is overseeing. Given that Samsung is a Korean multinational, we're talking about a completely different culture and business style, where the top few layers of people probably don't need to know about this sort of thing right away.
