Samsung and LG Duke It Out Over OLED Patents

In response to LG's patent infringement accusations from last September, Samsung has decided to retaliate. And a patent war commences...

The story goes back a couple months. It started in September when Samsung accused LG of industrial espionage and the theft of 18 different OLED technologies.
