A seemingly unstoppable SEC had brought about mass hysteria to competitors, as Samsung is involved in seemingly never ending legal controversies, such as the one over patent infringements with companies such as Fujitsu who claim to have created plasma display technology first. Samsung has also faced controversy in Korea for its policies towards workers, described by some as anti-worker, although such claims are widely disputed.

On November 30, 2005 Samsung pleaded guily to a charge it participated in a worldwide DRAM price fixing conspiracy during 1999-2002 that damaged competition and raised PC prices.
