This isn't the patent battle I'm waiting to see. The next upcoming one involves the patents concerning LTE.

I am waiting to see if Samsung will keep their flex screen technology patents to themselves.
Doing so would not keep any other manufactorer out of any market, so I can't come up with a reasoning (other than graft) by which the courts might force them to cross licence. This move would move the highest product durability over all into an unnasailable Samsung forte until someone else developed a competing non-infringing process. We will see if Samsung dares. |

You do realize that Samsung makes the screens for Apple's products, right? If Apple doesn't use the latest and greatest screens is because the two companies didn't agree on something. It's in Samsung's best interest to have Apple as a client, unless Apple is requesting that Samsung should make the screens only for Apple products.

And that if Samsung has screens for.themselves that never shatter when dropped, but iPple does not, currently there is no place else to go for iPple. It is, in fact in Samsumg's best interest to do.this if you look at how big the tablet market is and the potential for this development to dominate. Compact discs did not take over from vinyl in pretty much two years strictly because of the advance in sound quality. The durability factor played just as great a role. Durability is a marketable characteristic. You do comprehend that. Right? |

I would think we'll soon have convincing proof that selling phones purely on hardware specs and new features only reaches part of the market for smartphone buyers.
In fact -- maybe time has arrived for Google to start advertising strengths of its OS to those users...because hardware makers usually just focus on hardware features. just an idea. |

You are brilliant! I never realised before that it was impossible to maximize profit unless you maximise licensing to competitors who have far less in house manufactoring capacity than you do. Truly, you are a wonder. |

I wasn't talking about licensing to competitors (i.e. LG, Sharp, etc.). I was talking about manufacturing screens for their clients (i.e. Apple). When it comes to the part of Samsung that manufactures screens, Apple is not a competitor, it is a client.
