Apple, Samsung Agree to End Patent Suits Outside U.S
- curiousAl 12y agoSo now it's down to a game of slapsies, but with borders.
- Zikes 12y agoBecause as their rampant patent trolling gets called out and smacked down in more sane courts, the US will become the lone lunatic and double down on patent reforms so as not to look like the village idiot. Of course we'll still look like the village idiot, but Apple and Samsung will at least deny the rest of the world the opportunity to prove they can do better.
- AlyssaRowan 12y agoGood. Unfortunately, other phone manufacturers aren't in this pool. I'm not sure if you include Microsoft in that assessment, but they're certainly a big patent risk now that they did the Nokia & Nortel things, and they know it.
- shmerl 12y agoWhy not in US?
- thecopy 12y agoProbably because settelments are high and patents are more serious in the US.
