My guess is that SAMSUNG is putting up a fuss because DM is asking for a much higher settlement number than its previous settlements. If a company the size of SAMSUNG could put this to bed for a mere $4 million then they likely would have done so by now, in this economic climate, as did the previous six infringers.(well at least the first 3 as the next 3 remain unknown).
Why defend yourself facing mounting court costs when you can settle, save the company an unknown expense and get cross licensing access?
And why RISK possibly losing in court and facing HUGE exposure and negative press?
Because EDIG wants more this time. It's almost always about the money. Up until now the first 6 were cookie cutter.
Why would SAMSUNG be different?
