Remember that somewhat confusing equation that left Microsoft with 5x more Android dough than Windows Phone profits? We already detailed the situation, but for those of you who missed it, Microsoft holds patents on certain facets of Android technology. Because of that, every Android-based smartphone sold by HTC rakes in a $5 licensing fee for Microsoft, an agreement the companies reached out of court. We thought that Microsoft would have already covered its Android bases and reached more secretive agreements with heavy-hitters like LG and Samsung, but Reuters reports that the cash-grabbing has only just begun, and this time Samsung is in the cross hairs.
