Samsung and Apple have had a patent infringement dispute that goes back seven years and went something like this:
- Apple sued Samsung for pretty much copying the iPhone and scored a $1 Billion victory.
- Samsung appealed, but not before Apple got some Samsung phones banned in the US.
- Subsequent trials dropped that billion dollar figure to $539 million this past may. But this is more than the $399m figure Samsung had managed to shave off in the past.
Yesterday, both parties settled. No clue how much cash traded hands. Though it is a safe bet that Samsung likely cut a big cheque to make this go away. But all claims in the case be dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be refiled.
Thus after 7 long years, there is peace in our time in the smartphone world. Until the next patent infringement lawsuit.
