`You’ve seen this story before.
`
`Back in September, we filed a patent lawsuit in U.S. District Court against Samsung and Qualcomm for using
` our GPU technology patents without compensation. Two months later, Samsung countersued us, dragging
` along for good measure Velocity Micro, a small customer of ours based in Virginia, who has nothing to do with
` this fight.

`
`When we submitted that lawsuit, we also filed a second case in the International Trade Commission, seeking
` to block Samsung from shipping into the U.S. Galaxy phones and tablets that improperly use our patents.
` Predictably enough, Samsung went to the ITC last month to countersue us there, too, dragging along a dozen
` other small partners of ours who also have nothing to do with this fight. Today, the ITC announced that, just
` as it will hear our case against Samsung, it will allow Samsung’s case against us to proceed.
`
`This is typical legal ping pong. But amid the positioning, it’s important not to lose track of a few basic
` principles that guide our commitment to protect our IP.
`
`First, over the past two decades, NVIDIA has invested more than $9 billion to create the world’s best visual
` computing technology portfolio, comprising 7,000 patents issued and pending. Despite several years of trying,
` our licensing team was repeatedly unable to obtain any compensation from Samsung for using our technology.
`
`Second, we must earn an appropriate return on our investments. We are now seeking the courts’ judgment to
` confirm the infringement, validity and value of our patents so that we may be able to reach agreement with

` Samsung.
`
`Third, Samsung’s cynical measure to blame our partners is unfair to these third parties and will create more
` negative fallout for the company. In the case of Velocity Micro, a small family business was named so that
` Samsung could attempt to get its case heard in the fast-moving local district court. As Velocity’s CEO wrote in
` a blog, “…(Samsung is) all too willing to throw a private company under the proverbial bus for their own
` strategic reasons. It’s simply wrong….” In Samsung’s new ITC case, a dozen other companies are named that
` also have nothing to do with Samsung’s use of NVIDIA’s IP.
`
`Among all these cases, we still expect that the first to be decided will be our suit against Samsung in the ITC.
` And we look forward to that.
`
`NVIDIA remains focused on ensuring that we receive fair compensation from Samsung for using our technology
` in Galaxy phones and tablets. We won’t allow ourselves to get sidetracked by the company’s attempts to
` intimidate our partners who have nothing to do with the unlicensed use of our IP. We look forward to the
` court setting this right.
