"As for Samsung, it's about the money imo. They are likely streamlining the case as a point of negotiation, otherwise why do it prior to trial ?"

Then why bother with the comments to the court of not waiving our rights?

That one comment in my interpretation signals not a strategy, or any deal happening with Samsung under wraps.

For whose benefit was it made?

Think about it for a bit before you respond, why was it placed and why was it given up?
