USA Today reported Thursday that Samsung and Microsoft have signed a cross-licensing agreement for consumer electronics patents.

Samsung’s mobile phones have become popular in the US. More of these phones include a digital music player. Microsoft needs to get more of its mobile software on these platforms, even if sales volume of its Zune audio player has brisk.

Cross-licensing agreements are one commonly used method for companies to share technology.
