BWAHAHAHA:

in the interest of protecting consumer choice,’ the Suwon, South Korea-based company said

Despite the ShameScam propagandist blahblah, this is a nice landmark on the journey to their punishment for parasitism.

I like to hear this one from Samsung -not: “… in the interest of protecting consumer choice”.

We knew there wasn’t much of ethics at Samsung, but trying to tell us black is white is just plain stupidity.

Nope. They are just “protecting consumer choice”. xD
That sentence is real BS overload. xD They realized that their a$$e$ are going to burn when EU gives them billions of dollars in fines.

Exactly, adefowler! What a joke! As if the company cares about you or me having a choice other than Samsung products.

Nothing to do with an impending EU Anti-trust investigation over SEP?

Wrong.

Apple has already achieved the stifling effect they wanted.

Let’s face it–with Lucy’s ruling yesterday, Apple effectively lost the suit against Samsung.

Apple never wanted money, it wanted to stop blatant copying. Lucy ruled Apple get’s money, and that’s it.

Any money judgment against Samsung is meaningless–Samsung will offset some of the judgment with eventual frand awards, will appeal whatever amount Lucy comes up with, and as for what the eventual judgment turns out to be, who cares? It will be years from now before appeals are done, and Samsung has already had years to put a little under the surface surcharge against Apple as Apple’s supplier to salt away for any judgment.

The only win for Apple against Samsung was a permanent injunction; Samsung never planned to pay any judgment to Apple with anything other than Apple’s money.

Think this is a coincidence? Back room deal to give cover to negative ruling against apple by you know who.
