TechFaith vs Samsung re: Patent Infringement...

Here's what's interesting...The patent TechFaith looks to be accusing Samsung of infringing on has only been issued since the end of March.

I'm going to guess TechFaith was just waiting in the wings for this patent to issue and knew all along who they were going to nibble at first. Isn't it nice to have the cash to go after someone this big if need be?

Here's confirmation that TechFaith is the patent holder...
