Apple and Samsung They have been the protagonists of a patent war that has already become one of the most important in the history of technology. However, the two companies are going to sign peace, at least as regards their disputes in court outside the United States.
The two companies have officially announced it, so there is no doubt that this agreement is real. The two companies have put an end to the patent war that they carry in half the world. Of course, this agreement only applies to disputes outside the United States, so The trials they have in the courts of the American country will continue as they have been up to now. However, they have at least decided to end the trials they have started in many other countries around the world.
However, we cannot say that this means that they will no longer be sued, or that they accept that the other company can use the patents of the first. They have been very clear in the official statement, informing that the agreement "does not imply any agreement to use the other company's patents." This means that the lawsuits that were currently underway are put to an end, but it is not ruled out that in the future they may be sued again. In any case, it is a positive thing, since it seems that the two companies have been able to reach an agreement that manages to put an end to a totally useless patent war. In fact, the two companies' different victories in different countries and lawsuits have made it seem pointless for them to sue each other. Neither company has been able to prove that it is better than the other when it comes to the legal field, so it was best to end this patent war.
