This is an interesting perspective.<p>Is there any chance that Samsung is conspiring with Apple on this? If Apple wins, and Samsung has to pay a license to Apple, Apple could in theory, have an agreement to purchase that same amount in Samsung components.<p>Apple then goes and sues other Android manufacturers with the precedent set in the Samsung case. Apple wins by making a licensing fee on Android devices, Samsung wins because their Android competitors now have an increased cost of production.<p>I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist, but I just found it so strange that Apple would sue Samsung when the designs they are claiming have been infringed really aren't that original.
