After more than 7 years, Apple and Samsung settle their gigantic patent dispute in the USA.
The whole thing was based on a lawsuit in April 2011 in which Apple accused its South Korean competitor of copying the design and technology of the iPhone and iPad. At one point, there were around 50 lawsuits in several different countries, a veritable patent war.
The responsible Californian judge Lucy Koh ordered the discontinuation of the proceedings on Wednesday (local time).
The terms of the out-of-court settlement were not disclosed.
