4. In stark contrast, Samsung and Qualcomm are not visual computing companies.
Defendants are mobile device and semiconductor companies. Qualcomm supplies more than
half of the processors used in smartphones around the world and Samsung leads the global
market in sales of smartphones. But while Samsung and Qualcomm are each multi-billion dollar
goliaths in their respective industries, neither company has ever led the world in visual
computing. Instead, they have built their profitability in mobile devices and their global market
shares through the use of rich graphics that use NVIDIA’s innovations and patented
technologies.
5. For these reasons, NVIDIA brings this action against Defendants Samsung and
Qualcomm for patent infringement pursuant to the patents laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C.,
Sec. 1 et seq. This civil action arises from Defendants’ manufacture, use, sale or offers for sale
28. Instead of developing its own graphics processing technology, Samsung
purchases and uses Qualcomm’s infringing processors and GPUs, as well as other processors and
GPUs that infringe the claims of the Asserted Patents. Yet Samsung refuses to enter into
licenses that would appropriately compensate NVIDIA for its use of the essential graphics
technologies protected by the NVIDIA patent portfolio. Since August 2012, NVIDIA has
attempted to reach an appropriate license with Samsung, which would enable Samsung to
properly use NVIDIA’s IP within its products. But Samsung has negotiated based on delay and
Så det var 2012 det startade. I 3 år har Nvidia försökt lösa detta med Samsung men dom pekar finger på qualcomm istället. Snyggt Samsung verkligen snyggt.
