In response to an analyst’s comment that Samsung may be interested in buying out the struggling Blackberry maker, the company has said that it is not interested in Research In Motion at all. Samsung Electronics commented after RIM mentioned they would be open to licensing the Blackberry 10 operating system if need be, and working with third-party manufacturers.

A spokesperson for Samsung said that it had not considered acquiring RIM or licensing the BB10 OS at all. Analysts argue that the reason for this is that other than a potentially good patent portfolio, Samsung has no reason to acquire RIM, which has lost a lot of market share in the smartphone market and has lost 80% of it’s share value in the past year and a half.
