I’m not sure whether it’s ‘cool’ to sue Samsung at the moment or something, but it seems Ericsson thinks so. It’s just filed a lawsuit against Samsung for yet more patent infringement. It seems Samsung’s fighting on all fronts right now.
Apparently, Samsung failed to renew its licensing agreement for Ericsson’s ‘essential’ wireless patents, meaning every Samsung phone infringes, and maybe many other devices too. For what it’s worth, Samsung’s basically said Ericsson has jacked up the rent and is demanding way too much money for use of said patents.

They still have to be paid for regardless of the price. Samsung doesn't get to dictate how much other peoples patents are worth.
I think people are getting tired of all this litigation - it's all very repetitive.

Samsung need to stop to copy from other companies.
Last time even Rambus sues Samsung and Qualcom sues Samsung years ago Samsung need really stop with stealing technology from others and than copy them.
And many more companies going hate Samsung for their copycat products from LC/Oled CPU RAM LTE/3G name it all stolen technology and claim by Samsung self.
I never buy a Samsung product.
Well done Ericsson and Apple, you have balls i respect that. |

As are the courts, which is why recently i just forget which case it was, Motorola's i think, the court said something along the lines of they had a point in the past, but now it would be hard for others to not abuse such a patent since its just a prerequisite of the technology.
Which id like to happen more often.

No it's not, people get sick that Samsung always steal technology.
The last 10 a 15 years Samsung has nothing and now they got everything from other companies like Sony/Ericsson/Nokia/Sharp/Rambus/Qualcom/Western Digital (HDD/SSD) and Apple.
Very repetitive right? |

So this would seem Ericsson LB has a valid patent dispute. Samsung could've renegotiated the patent licensing pricing, doesn't seem they even bothered to try, and could've brought this to the courts attention before litigation began; or an arbitrator on the matter. None was attempted by Samsung.
I'm more curious how this will affect Nokia's dispute against Apple with their essential patents case of technology.
Either way Samsung may win this due to the increase on pricing and set a standard to be made about pricing costs of essential patents that MUST be licensed and not increase.
