US drops investigation into Samsung patent licensing
2014-02-10 08:52:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The US Department of Justice has ended an investigation into Samsung Electronics's licensing of its standards-essential patents. The DoJ's Antritrust Division looked at whether Samsung was using the patents to obtain exclusion orders from the US International Trade Commission against Apple iPhone and iPad models, a possibly anti-competitive practice. The DoJ in January 2013 issued a policy statement on standards-essential patents, warning that companies could abuse their dominant market positions by threatening to seek sales injunctions against competitors that did not agree to high licensing fees for the technology. Samsung earlier won such an order against Apple products, but the US Trade Representative reviewed the order issued by the ITC and overturned it in August 2013, determining that it was not consistent with the public interest. As a result of the USTR's action, the DoJ's Antitrust Division said it found no reason to continue the investigation of Samsung. However, it will continue to monitor further developments in this area. The DoJ noted that it worked closely on the investigation with the European Commission, which is still looking at Samsung's licensing practices.

Ericsson Q4 results lifted by Samsung licensing deal
2014-01-30 09:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Ericsson reported stable sales and improved profits in the fourth quarter, helped by its new licensing deal with Samsung. Revenues of SEK 67.0 billion were unchanged year-on-year and included SEK 4.2 billion from the Samsung contract. The company's operating result improved to a profit of SEK 9.1 billion, including SEK 4.2 billion from Samsung and a SEK 0.4 billion charge for the acquisition of Airvana, versus a loss of SEK 3.8 billion a year ago. The operating margin was up across the board, to 17 percent at the Networks division and 8 percent at Global Services. Ericsson's net result was a profit of SEK 6.4 billion, reversing a loss of SEK 6.3 billion a year earlier, and Ericsson raised its dividend to SEK 3.00 per share from 2.75 a year ago. Operating cash flow was down slightly to SEK 14.6 billion from SEK 15.7 billion in Q4 2012. CEO Hans Vesterberg said the company's focus on profitability last year paid off, with an increase in margins and still 5 percent annual growth in comparable sales. The business mix started to move towards a higher share of capacity projects than coverage projects, although sales were under pressure in the last quarter, due to a slowdown in Japan and the wind-down of major projects in the US, Ericsson said. Sales are improving in China, and the company also expects the European market to start to recover, helped by Vodafone's plans for increased investment.
