Samsung offers to stop filing lawsuits
Print Edition
Samsung Electronics Co has offered not to launch any patent lawsuits over key mobile telephone technology in Europe for the coming five years, in hopes of avoiding a fine from the European Commission.
The Commission reported yesterday called for rivals Apple Inc and Microsoft Corp to respond.
The Commission's top regulator Joaquin Almunia believes Samsung tried to use its patent portfolio as a tool to stifle competition, seeking injunctions to keep Apple products off the market.
Almunia said once a technology becomes an industry standard, its owner must offer others a chance to license it on reasonable terms — something Samsung failed to do.
