Samsung accused of patent abuse in Europe
- South Korea: Saturday, December 22 - 2012 at 01:57
The European Commission has accused Samsung of patent abuse in its dealings with Apple. The patents in question cover standard-essential technology, and Samsung has an obligation to license them on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms, said the commission. "Intellectual property rights ... should not be misused when they are essential to implement industry standards, which bring huge benefits to businesses and consumers alike," said Joaquín Almunia, vice president of competition policy at the commission.
