Back in the summer, Microsoft accused Samsung of trying to back away from a patent agreement between them and wanting to make new devices on its own without having to pay Microsoft money to use its patents. The CEOs of the two companies, Satya Nadella and Lee Jae-yong were supposed to meet in the last few days to discuss the next steps in this "war" and try to restore peace between them again.
An end to the disagreements between Microsoft and Samsung would be beneficial for both sides, as the two companies use each other's patents. The source, who did not want to be named, added to the discussions that Samsung and Microsoft were addressing not only how to continue sharing patents, but also how they can help each other in mobile security and the cloud. Finally, he adds that Samsung does not consider Microsoft to be its rival at all, even though it has been speculated.
