Apple and Samsung ends 7-year-long patent battle

Tech giants Apple and Samsung have ended a years-long patent battle over copied iPhone design with an undisclosed settlement, according to a US court filing on June 28.

The smartphone makers reached a truce in their seven-year-old court battle a month after a federal court jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple some 539 million for copying patented iPhone features.

It may be mentioned here that Apple's lawsuit had claimed Samsung of copying the design and other features of the iPhone.

The terms of settlement were, however, not disclosed.
