"Given that there are at least several hundred patents declared essential to a standard such as 3G, such as a patent royalty demands seem entirely out of line," writes Mueller. Because the disputed patent is categorized as an essential patents, Samsung is committed to creating a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (Frandsen) license to set up.

Verizon Samsung has recently publicly participated in the ongoing patent case when it asked the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to Apple's request for an injunction in the matter of refusing. Such an order would otherwise prohibit Samsung to sell four of its Android products, while the patent dispute is before the courts, including Infuse 4G, 4G Galaxy S Droid Charge, and Galaxy Tab 10.1.
