        As Samsung says it does sound like an issue in the supplier chain.

                Corporate lawyer dogs barking at each other until they mutually exchange bones and become friends once again. Typical story that keeps repeating in the industry with various players taking part. Nothing for users/consumers to be concerned or care about.

                    This is as silly as if Continental would sue Micheline when they would sell their tires to VW.

I don't see how it's samsung's fault here, since they don't make those gpu's, they just use them. Nvidia stop being a patent troll and sue gpu maker.

                                So does that mean that we should be held accountable and pay royalties too for buying the devices in question?

If you have a patent on something, it is your right to gain patent fee from those who want to use it. Filing a patent costs too much so you deserve some penny if others have intetest on it. If only Samsung respects these patent stuffs they wont have any problem with other companies.
