OLED feud isn't over yet: LG now claims Samsung is illegally using its patents, wants to get paid

Samsung and LG have been fighting over OLED (and other technologies) patents for over a year, but in the last few weeks it was reported that the two companies agreed to resolve their OLED dispute outside of the court of law. Samsung Display's CEO even said the two companies are considering cross-licensing patents.

But this isn't going to be an easy reconciliation. Today LG Electronics is now accusing Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display of illegally using LG's technology, and demands payment from Samsung. LGE is also "doubtful" about SDC's decision to drop a patent suit against LG. LG wants to discuss the payment for these technologies. It's not clear which technolgoies LGE is referring to. We do know that LG claims that the eye-tracking technology Samsung included in the GS4 is patented.
