Default The war is over! HTC and Apple sign an armistice!

Apple and HTC have dismissed all lawsuits against one another and signed a 10-year licensing agreement that extends to current and future patents held by both parties.



The details of the truce are not known. All we have is a terse joint press release.


HTC and Apple Settle Patent Dispute

All Patent Litigation Between the Companies Dismissed




TAIPEI, Taiwan and CUPERTINO, California—November 10, 2012—HTC and Apple have reached a global settlement that includes the dismissal of all current lawsuits and a ten-year license agreement. The license extends to current and future patents held by both parties. The terms of the settlement are confidential.



“HTC is pleased to have resolved its dispute with Apple, so HTC can focus on innovation instead of litigation,” said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC.



“We are glad to have reached a settlement with HTC,” said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. “We will continue to stay laser focused on product innovation.”





Let today henceforth be known as Armistice Day, the day on which the most significant war in modern history has ended.
