    Samsung drops all injunction cases against Apple in UK, Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands. Samsung believes it is better to battle Apple on the mobile market. Let's Hope Apple is the second wise men…

    From Samsung:
    “Samsung remains committed to licensing our technologies on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, and we strongly believe it is better when companies compete fairly in the marketplace, rather than in court. In this spirit, Samsung has decided to withdraw our injunction requests against Apple on the basis of our standard essential patents pending in European courts, in the interest of protecting consumer choice.”

    Apple's biggest case in America is still going on. Apple could get 1 billion of dollars from Samsung. Apple said: Samsung copied our products and used a couple of patents from Apple without any kind of certification.
