The patent war between Apple and Samsung is not the first year. And the company, order tired of wars and patent litigation, decided to sit around the negotiating table.
According to the newspaper, the Korean company Samsung has resumed negotiations with Apple leadership . Once again offers the American side to discuss issues and resolve them in the pretrial order. However, if Apple agrees to license their designs or to be the last to insist on their right, it is not clear. In any case, it will take some time and power from both sides.
It is noteworthy that Samsung has decided to resume talks after the U.S. Supreme Court found Apple guilty of violating several patents Korean company. And the first time they started last year, but then the companies failed because of disagreements reconciled, and they continued legal battles.
In fact, some experts believe that Apple specifically signed an armistice with Google to pay more attention to the fight against Samsung. But German expert on intellectual property Florian Mueller (Florian Muller) takes a different view.
"Theoretically agreement with Google will allow Apple to focus on dispute with Samsung. But from a practical point of view it does not help in the fight against a competitor, given that the strength of some patents small to be of strategic importance," - said Mueller.
It should be noted that Samsung for Apple is not only sworn enemy and competitor in the market, but also an important partner and a key supplier of components.
