It’s no secret that Apple aggressively attacks any company involved with mobile OS Android ^[2], including filing lots of patent suits against such companies as Samsung ^[3] and HTC. One of the biggest victories for Apple came last week as the company won preliminary injunctions against Galaxy Nexus ^[4] and  Galaxy Tab 10.1 ^[5].

Now Samsung and Google ^[6] are fed up with Apple’s legal attacks and are ready to join their efforts. Today Korea Times reported ^[7] that Samsung and Google have a “game-plan” against Cupertino’s company that will most likely result in a cross-licensing deal. Samsung’s source said to The Korea Times:

“It’s too early to comment on our game plan (with Google) in the legal battle; but we will do our best to get more royalties from Apple, which has benefited from our technology. The fight is becoming more dramatic and the possibility of a truce in the form of a cross-licensing deal, seems to be becoming likely.”

Cross-licensing agreements are not new in the technology segment. For instance, last September, Microsoft ^[8] announced ^[9] a cross-licensing agreement with Samsung. Also Microsoft concluded deals with many other ^[10] companies, including Velocity Micro, Wistron, HTC, Onkyo and ViewSonic. Google and Samsung want to agree on similar terms with Apple.
