The case was filed by Ericsson in November 2012 after unsuccessful negotiations with Samsung over the usage of FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) patents. Samsung originally signed a licensing deal with Ericsson in 2001 over use of its network related patents, and has renewed the deal in 2007. However, in 2011, talks over a new deal were unsuccessful as Samsung claimed that Ericsson was demanding higher licensing fees.
The agreement today sees Samsung making a one-time payment of $650 million to Ericsson, in addition to several payments over the years. Both organizations have also signed a cross-licensing deal that covers patents in the field of mobile networking.
