To that end, Samsung launched a US IP company in March sans fanfare called Intellectual Keystone Technology (IKP) to “trade and develop” OLED and LCD patents, according to The Korea Times. A spokesman said the company opened the office as a way to smooth innovation, but also warned that it intends to use it “to protect our intellectual property by strengthening our patent-related business.” So far, it’s already shored up Samsung’s portfolio by purchasing display tech from Seiko Epson – after all, it never hurts to have as many cards up your sleeve as you can when things get ugly.
