The CEOs of Samsung Electronics and Apple will make another attempt to settle their
global patent feud before another federal court trial set for March.
According to court papers the two tech giants filed this week, Samsung CEO Kwon Oh-hyun
and Apple CEO Tim Cook have agreed to conduct the settlement talks by February 19th.
The mediation meeting comes amid unconfirmed reports the two firms are looking to settle
some of their patent disputes outside court. Over the past couple of years, Samsung and
Apple have been involved in a number of lawsuits linked to smartphone patents, which have resulted
in damages totaling roughly 9-hundred-30 million U.S. dollars being awarded to Apple.
