Google will support Samsung in patents war

Google Chairman, Eric Schmidt, will also meet with Samsung executives. He said that "Samsung is one of our most important customers and there is much to discuss". The Korean company is Android's biggest vendor and when it comes to patent, it has been the one to suffer most from the current system, as Apple might seek more than $1 billion in damages over patent infringement from Samsung.

"Literally patent wars prevent choice, prevent innovation and I think that is very bad,' Schmidt said. 'We are obviously working through that and trying to make sure we stay on the right side of these issues. So ultimately Google stands for innovation as opposed to patent wars.'
'I think one of the worst things that happened in the last few years has been the belief that somehow there are so many patents in the mobile phone world, an estimated 200,000 patent that are overlapping and complicated and so forth, that one vendor can stop the sale of another vendor's phones or devices,' he also stressed."
