I doubt MS got really good patent licensing terms with Samsung as Samsung has
too many patents to fight MS with. In fact given Samsung wants to use MS
licensing as an example the money might flow in the other direction.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In the "wouldn't it be a shame if something happened to your business"
racket, the rates are very much tailored to the victim's ability to pay and/or
strike back.
Efficient extortion rates are tailored to the victim rather than to the
purported "service".
You want to retain your sharks' mobility and not have it hampered by letting
other arrangements get in the open.
It is well-known that Microsoft area representatives were authorized to go below
zero in software licensing fees in order to secure strategic customers (namely,
actually pay the customer for taking a software license and ditching
competitors).
Of course, this sort of deal would be even more applicable to the phantasmagoric
realm of patent licensing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
