Samsung's position is entirely rational, but less than ethical.
more than ethical, for different reasons.
Since Microsoft purchase Nokia, they must enter into a cross license agreement or pay royalties to Samsung. Now M$ may pull an Apple and claim they shouldn't have to pay for standard essential cell phone patents.. But that argument becomes a double edged sword, since M$ patent licenses cover the standardized memory card file format(oopsey - standard essential ) . So what's good for the goose is good for gander so to speak..
Samsung clearly and right fully, thinks they shouldn't have to pay M$ any more royalties, since the material terms of the contract have changed since M$ has become a cell phone manufacturer.
