this is hilarious, first NVidia try to sue Samsung/QUALCOMM, now Samsung is fighting fire with fire and doing the same thing to NVidia. such a joke..
Haven't seen apples name in the headlines in sometime.. just a matter of time before apple attack Samsung or vise versa.
patent system seems little broken to me..

This is a joke. Banning NVidia GPU's would harm consumers as well as the US economy.
Samsung is suing NVidia and Velocity Micro (a very small company with limited resources that has absolutely nothing to do with NVidia's SoCs) and now asking for trade bans against products that Samsung can't definitively prove violate any patent they hold. This goes beyond a simple lawsuit.

Didn't take long for Apple's name to come up in a samsung thread :infinity:

Actually nvidia seems to have started this fire and if you were samsung you would do the same thing. At the end of the day it's the lawyers making out the most so both samsung and nvidia are idiots

LOL, good luck with that.

Yeah...

OK now we see why Samsung support Freesync.
Nvidia totaly failed to sue Qualcomm.
But on Capitalism if you don't sue someone, then someone sue you.

I lost a lot of respect for samsung with this one. It was a low-blow for nvidia the first time around. On the other hand, nvidia isn't known to go crazy with lawsuits. I hope both companies lose the lawsuits they created, but Samsung's is especially dumb.
Nvidia's confidence is a little worrying though. If they're wrong, their reputation is going to take a hit.
As for Apple, I think they realized that everyone, including their own customers, do not appreciate their anticompetitiveness and that they're making a mockery of the legal system. I noticed the lawsuits calmed down very abruptly after Steve Jobs died, who wanted nothing more than to see Android wither and die.

If NV are correct, it will have huge implications for whole ARM industry.
Samsung an Qualcomm license ARM IP for mali GPU
NV saying basically not covered an require license through them for certain GPU patents.
Basically if NV win, anything licensed through ARM IP could also be in trouble too.

This reminds me of an couple of little kids fighting, but with higher stakes.

If you can't beat em, shut em down.

The patent fight between Samsung and NVidia may be just the tip of the iceberg, eventually someone IS going to infringe on someone else's patent without realizing it. Has Samsung or NVidia looked at AMD's or Intel's designs to make sure that they didn't infringe on their patents or vice versa?

Nvidia and AMD don't like each other but it seems to me they're under some sort of "truce". It amazes me how little they actually fight each other, but I think they both appreciate a healthy competition. Nvidia and intel don't get along either, but intel doesn't want anything nvidia has and nvidia realizes they're never going to get what they want out of intel, so they kind of just sit idly by.
Samsung also shouldn't have much interest in intel. If they attempted to sue them, it would be a lost-cause. If you sue intel, you either have to be struggling for cash or you have to be 100% sure you'll win and accomplish something. Intel seems to be slowly catching up with the mobile market and unlike most companies, they don't seem to sue everyone into oblivion to get to the top;probably because they can't. Intel is under many governments' radars for monopolizing. They could sue or buy out nearly every competitor they have, but they'll have a serious legal problem if they do.
As for AMD, they're not a threat to Samsung. AMD is just a gnat to Samsung, and their interest in ARM doesn't appear to be targeting Samsung's market.

Intel already pay hefty licensing fee's to NV for GPU patents. Usually companies have licensing deals in place. Samsung an Qualcomm believe their covered by ARM IP. NV is saying no, an want's licensing money. Samsung is countering an saying NV breached their patents etc.

Samsung can kiss my ass. Their product support is ****. Customer service is ****, as I had call them once, left a message on a machine. Did I hear back? Nope. Had an original Galaxy phone from them once, used it for 3 days and returned it as it would drop calls 30 seconds in. I would really like to see Nvidia come out on top for this one.
