Samsung, Nvidia End Their Patent Lawsuits (cio.com) 5
Reader itwbennett writes: In September 2014, Nvidia sued both Samsung and Qualcomm, asking for shipments of Galaxy phones and tablets with graphics processors from Qualcomm, ARM and Imagination Technologies to be blocked. Samsung fired back, suing Nvidia for patent infringement, and for supposedly false claims by Nvidia that its Tegra K1 was the world's fastest mobile processor. Now, in an agreement announced today, Nvidia and Samsung have agreed to 'settle all outstanding IP litigation'. Under the agreement, the companies will license 'a small number' of patents to each other, though they said there's no broad cross-license agreement. There's also no financial payment. And no mention was made of Qualcomm.

Patents are far too good of a weapon to be taken away by the government. Better not use them except neccessary, eg when to kill off small competition. And at the same meeting they can also talk about the prices their new products will have, perhaps they can find a deal where everyone wins.
