Samsung denies being in talks with Apple The Apple/Samsung legal feud continues. This week a US district judge suggested to the two companies that they should try to settle their patent infringement suits out of court, citing the companies' close business relationships. Apple's and its legal council seemed to agree and Apple's lawyer told the judge that executives "at the highest levels" of two companies were actively meeting to work things out. However, Samsung denies those talks are even happening.
The Korean company told UK site V3 that "We are unaware of any meetings or discussions between the two sides over this matter." Apple recently came to a patent settlement agreement with Nokia, and many in the industry -- not to mention the courts -- hope Apple and Samsung can come to a similar settlement. However, the primary argument Apple has with Samsung isn't about technology patents, it's about Samsung stealing the look and feel of the iPad and iPhone to use in its own products. Needless to say, it's unlikely that a case will be settled out of court when one company says that it's talking to the other to try to resolve the issue and the other company says no such talks exist.Samsung denies being in talks with Apple originally appeared on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Mon, 20 Jun 2011 22:10:00 EST.
