BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Commission will accept a pledge by Samsung Electronics not to seek injunctions against licensees of its patents for smartphones and tablets, the European Unions antitrust authority said on Tuesday. I welcome Samsungs commitment to resolve disputes on standard essential patents without having recourse to injunctions in a way that could harm competition, said Joaquin Almunia, the commissioner in charge of competition enforcement.
