High-level Apple and Samsung execs in talks to settle out of court

20 June, 2011
Apple recently settled one patent lawsuit out of court (with Nokia) and now they may be on track to settle another one - the one with Samsung. The judge on the case suggested both companies settle it...

That's the patent game. Encourage technical folks to file meaningless patents. Use them as chips in a poker game between legal staffs of competing companies. New companies trying to get into the game have no "chips", thus are discouraged from competing in a new market. All very anti-competitive. xman

ps Spple must settle as Samsung can destroy apples production with a few well timed hardware "mix-ups".

      Instead of consuming themselves in meaningless battlesuits against their main supplier Apple should concentrate on presenting something better and more meaningfull from the current King of Smartphones which is the SAMSUNG GALAXY SII
      Then l can be persuated maybe to buy an Iphone instead

                        For those who don't know, apple needs samsung more than samsung needs apple. Think supply chain if you still don't understand.

                          AnonD-2892, 20 Jun 2011Like any of us are surprised that Jobs is plowing on in the... moreso let me get this rite if you owned a big company that made a unique device (yeah the iPhone is unique unlike android phones), would you let another company make blatant copies of your product?

                          and it works 2 ways apple get hardware from samsung and samsung gets loads of cash from apple so its in both their interests to come to an agreement

                            Apple are a bunch of sApps, They really need to get a life and stop suing everyone for stupid stuff, They have clearly just copied Android with the new notifications panel in ios5, If anyone should be getting sued it should be them.

                              Like any of us are surprised that Jobs is plowing on in the legal arena. They've already ruined their relationship with Samsung and are paying the price with the crappy visuals on the white iPhone 4's which don't have Samsung displays. I hope they continue to suffer.

                                  Apply is so full of pure hot sh-t. Instead of innovating they're seeking to tear down Samsung because it has much better products. I love competition and innovation, but what Apple is doing.... I just might start a boycott all Apple products

                                      Apple is being ridiculous here! They fear that Samsung is taking over them in the gadget market, so they started to come up with all these lawsuits. Booooooo Apple!!! Samsung Galaxy S II is overpowering the iPhone 4 in everything.... Goooo Sammy!!!
