Apple and Samsung settle seven-year-long patent fight over copying the iPhone

Apple and Samsung settle seven-year-long patent fight over copying the iPhoneApple and Samsung have finally put an end to their long-running patent battle whose central question was whether Samsung copied the iPhone. The patent battle started in 2011 and initially resulted in a $1 billion ruling in Apple's favor. Apple ignited the smartphone revolution with iPhone and it is a fact that Samsung blatantly copied our design. Apple and Samsung had one other major patent battle, which was first decided in 2014 but didn't end until last year. In that case, Apple won $120 million over violations of its slide-to-unlock patent and several others.

Apple and Samsung settle their epic patent infringement battle

as mentioned in Apple and Samsung just ended their epic seven-year legal patent infringement fight. The settlement closes a dispute that started in 2011 when Apple accused Samsung (SSNLF) of "slavishly" copying the iPhone's design and software features. A jury awarded Apple (AAPL) $539 million in May, leaving Samsung with an outstanding balance of $140 million it owed Apple. Their fight eventually landed in the Supreme Court, which in 2016 reversed an appeals court ruling that Samsung must pay $399 million for patent infringement. Although "Apple won most of the battles," Samsung found way to "design around" the patents Apple claimed it copied, said Michael Risch, a patent law professor at Villanova University.
