NO MORE TUG-OF-WAR BETWEEN APPLE AND GOOGLE

apple and google are chilling for now with this statement:

Apple and Google have agreed to dismiss all the current lawsuits that exist directly between the two companies. Apple and Google have also agreed to work together in some areas of patents.

Last Friday, Apple Inc the maker of the iPhone, and Google Inc , the company who developed Android, agreed to drop all lawsuits against each other concerning the unlawful use of patents in their Smartphone products.
In reality, the truce is between Google’s Motorola Mobility unit and Apple, who were fighting several patent litigation cases over smartphone technology. The end of it will be termed as the end of the most high profile lawsuit in the technology sector in this decade that started back in October 2010.Prior to the settlement, these two companies were fighting 20 lawsuits in the United States as well as in Germany. Since the agreement is between only Apple and Google, it will probably not end other intellectual property rights litigations, specifically the ones between Apple and Samsung. However, the collaboration between the mother company of Android indicates that Samsung may get some breathing air from the deal as well in near future. That's about them folks but you can still fight about your favorite smartphone company.
