Good morning, and welcome to today's edition of: "Apple and Samsung love to hate each other." Though it's only been a short weekend since the latest update, the dueling electronics makers have again waged war in the Netherlands. Samsung countersued Apple in the Hague court last week, claiming that the iPad and iPhone violate certain 3G technology patents held by the South Korea-based company. The issue is that those Samsung-held patents fall under FRAND licensing terms, as they cover technology necessary for the industry as a whole, and must be licensed out to competitors under reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms. Because of this, Samsung has asked that Apple pay 2.4 percent for every chipset per patent within its 3G-capable iPhones and iPads," reports Webwereld journalist Andreas Udo de Haes on Twitter.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/7LMD2FAc1qg/
