A word from Bloomberg
reported via Phone Arena says that Apple and Samsung representatives have met
to discuss the possibility of a patent cross-license between them. This effort
to resolve a lawsuit going on between the two patent infringement allegations
by each party.
Before these two parties
had a meeting, ie on the leadership of Steve Jobs. But Steve Jobs regard
Android as an enemy and if necessary up to a nuclear war to avenge the Android.
Therefore, these efforts do not continue and Samsung decided to leave the
negotiations and resolve through the courts.
Meanwhile, Tim Cook who
currently hold leadership at Apple is not considered to be more emotional. This
is seen as Microsoft and Apple can achieve cross-licensing agreement in 1997 in
the field of computer software industry.
Remedy the Apple in
February, had suffered a setback when the judge refused a request Koh Apple to
ban the sale of Samsung devices in the United States. According to Koh, the
design of Apple's patent is too broad and even some of them have similarities
with the concepts in the 1994 series Knight Rider. Apple make the decision on
appeal and hire a well-known law firm in Los Angeles to increase efforts
ongoing patent war.
It is estimated that the two companies
currently have to spend money to nearly 400 million dollars in legal fees in
cases that last for several years. Therefore it could be an attempt at
negotiations between the two sides would be preferable to spend more energy and
money to patent disputes.
