Samsung, Motorola Share Technology

Jul 6, 2005, 1:39 PM by (staff)

Samsung and Motorola have entered an agreement to share mobile technology. The move does not end competition between the two handset manufacturers. Instead the cross-licensing deal is intended to prevent any disputes over licensing or intellectual property of underlying mobile technology. The move could most immediately benefit Samsung, which has announced they will bring their V740 RAZR-alike to the US and Europe. If Samsung used any of Motorola's miniaturization technology, this agreement will protect them.

Wow, good or bad?

Hopefully Moto will improve its software issues, and Samsung will improve its redundant styling. This could be great for consumers, not so great for Moto and Samsung.

Basic Technology, not RAZR miniaturization

This agreement is about the use of fundamental technologies underlying both GSM and CDMA (which both companies have major patents). It does not go beyond that.

Interesting Move...

IMO, this this move by the manufacturers will help prevent any lawsuits similar to that of NTP vs RIM type lawsuits. Especially in the case of Samsungs RAZR-like offering.
