Intel and Samsung Gang Up on Qualcomm, Backing FTC Monopoly Suit
>“Intel is ready, willing, and able to compete on the merits in this market that Qualcomm has dominated for years,” Intel said in a posting on its website. “But Qualcomm has maintained an interlocking web of abusive patent and commercial practices that subverts competition on the merits.”>Samsung claims its in-house chip unit is artificially held back by Qualcomm’s unwillingness to license its technology.I don't know the details of the patents in question, but I assume they are hardware patents.  In any event, the idea of either Intel or Samsung complaining about some other company subverting competition is hilarious. But I guess that's how the game is played at this level.
