Samsung now claims there's another reason it stopped paying Android patent licensing fees to Microsoft: antitrust issues.



From ZDNet:

You might think that Samsung stopped paying Android patent licensing fees to Microsoft because of concerns about the viability of Microsoft's Android patents, but that's not what Samsung has been arguing. Instead, Samsung's position has been that Microsoft's Nokia acquisition breached the patent license agreement.

Now, Samsung has added some more details to this defense: Paying Microsoft after the acquisition would have lead to antitrust violations.
