Tim Cook hates litigation, not quite ready to call a patent truce

Tired of the ongoing patent wars? Well, Tim Cook gave us some reason to hope. In response to a question about the potential for settlements in the current pile of lawsuits on the company's plate, the CEO seemed open to the idea. In fact, he used the "h" word to describe is feelings towards the process. "I've always hated litigation. I continue to hate it," he said, before striking a slightly more combative tone to clarify, "I just want people to invent their own stuff." So there you go, stop stealing Apple's inventions and its lawyers won't sue. Seems simple enough. The urge to avoid further legal tussles seems genuine though, saying that, if an acceptable agreement could be struck he'd "highly prefer to settle rather than battle."

Titans Talking Turkey? Larry Page, Tim Cook Reportedly Discussing Patent Issues

It sounds like the setup to a weird, utterly geeky joke — “So Apple’s CEO calls up Google’s CEO…” — but according to a new report from Reuters, the situation is anything but. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Larry Page have recently spent time chatting with each other over the phone, and they plan to continue doing so at least for the time being.

Exactly what the two titans of tech are talking about isn’t totally clear yet, but it’s probably safe to assume that they dispensed with the pleasantries pretty quickly.

No, these supposed conversations were all about patents — how they could they not be, given Apple’s recent legal triumph over Samsung — and Reuters’ sources pointed to the possibility of an arrangement between the respective companies that could help ease some tension:

One possible scenario under consideration could be a truce involving disputes over basic features and functions in Google’s Android mobile software, one source said. But it’s unclear whether Page and Cook are discussing a broad settlement of the various disputes between the two companies – most of which involve the burgeoning mobile computing area – or are focused on a more limited set of issues.

Truce? That’s a far cry from the “thermonuclear” approach that the late Steve Jobs prescribed, but it’s not entirely a shock to see the word bandied about — I’m sure neither company is afraid of pulling the legal trigger should it prove necessary, but words can sometimes settle issues in a way that pure legal might can’t. While it’s good to see these companies on speaking terms though, it’s hard not to imagine what would happen should these talks wind up being less than fruitful.

Consider the situation — Samsung was found to have infringed on a number of Apple’s technical and design patents, and is being asked to cough up $1.05 billion in damages. While it’s true that most of the infringements (whether you think they’re valid or not) are centered on Samsung-specific design choices, that’s not to say that Google is completely in the clear. The company was quick to point out the “most” of the patent claims in question didn’t “relate to the core Android operating system” after the landmark verdict was delivered, but that may not be such a huge issue anyway. As The Verge’s Nilay Patel adroitly points out, it may not be too difficult to design around Apple’s specific implementation of certain patents, and the newest version of Android dodges that rather nicely.

In the wake of the multi-week trial, some wondered whether or not Google would lend its collaborator a helping hand. It wouldn’t be the first time, after all — HTC sued Apple last year for infringement against patents that Google had sold to it just a week prior, and the company stepped into the midst of another copyright infringement debate when Lodsys sued 11 app developers in 2011. If Cook and Page both walk away unsatisfied, it wouldn’t be impossible to imagine Google trying to help out in one way or another.

The precedent is there, but it seems like the sort of option that Google saves as a last resort. In any case, while Apple and Google’s head honchos continue to talk things out, Samsung is also reportedly gearing up for yet another legal battle. I’m not talking about the appeals process or the preliminary injunction hearing — The Korea Times reported earlier this morning that Samsung is planning to sue Apple should it release an LTE-enabled iPhone. Considering the tone of recent leaks and rumors (not to mention that there’s no way Apple would release an LTE iPad and fail to follow up with an LTE iPhone), Samsung should soon get the fight it’s looking for.

I work. Unlike most kids here. I dont have time to rummage through google pages.

Plus, if i wanted an answer right away i would haved looked myself instead of posting the speculation here.


I'm not looking for an app, or a link to a thread or the size of the moon. Obviously my question was one that might not have had an answer. Therefore, other people that don't work and has more time than I do can do the rummaging.
 
no rummaging was first link that popped on google and title says it all.. are u a lil grumpy today? If so im sorry buddy ole pal :(
 
Well if you're not adult your a teenager (doubt there's 5 year holds here) and if you're a teen, you're in school. when you're not in school, you have homework. On your free time (or slackers like me) you socialize.
 
its ok ok fuzzy wuzzy :) anyways back to topic i think we have apple trapped in the corner shivering calling for mama wondering what are they going to do we have almost every other phone company armed with patent rights and pointing fingers at apple with a huge grin on their faces getting ready to drop bombs on apple like theres no 2morrow. just like mocdonald's theme song IM LOVING IT! i think this is a great chance to destroy apple with lawsuits and make them go back to the drawing board and come up with some shitty designs. they might as well take a 2 by 4 and make it into a phone and call it the first ever eco friendly cell phone. ......pfft they probaly get sued by all the tree huggers around the world lol.

That lawsuit forever divided the worlds of developers, cell phone users and cellular service providers alike.
Lawyers will be the death of this world as we know it - mark my words.

We always knew that Apple was full of a bunch of sensitive little girls but the image that they are putting out there by suing over a shape amongst other things, is just bad. We are already a sensitive ass nation that is full of a bunch of pansies that will sue you at the drop of a hat. It's sad. I hate what this nation has become. We have no backbone at all.

Apple NEEDS Samsung just as much as the world needs both of them. Apple opened a can of worms that they will never be able to shut and that will seriously bite them in the ass multiple times.
 
What worries me most, is the possibility of the Crapple lawsuit becoming a Pandora's Box;
"That company's potato chips are shaped like ours. We'll sue!"...

Loaves of bread shaped alike, cars with headlights on the front, TV's shaped alike, etc.
Next thing you know, colors, words/phrases... even actions.

This would hamper and restrict innovation and development to a large degree.
Oh, people will try to think/innovate outside the box, that's for sure... but it won't be for the sake of product/technology advancement - it'll be in avoidance of frivolous lawsuits.

I know this scenario is a stretch... but hopefully the CA verdict will be overturned so we never have to worry about it happening... again.
 
The thing to remember is this one ruling is not the last word as far as US courts go. More likely then not because of the parties involved this case will go to the 9th Circuit and more likely then not the Supreme Court.

It's no where near over. Steve Wozniak even said it will get over turned and the he hoped it would because it's stupid.

I wonder who gave the ok to do all of this. Cook? He gave the final say? And supposedly wants a truce now cause of lte and Samsung and goo phone

They start crap, and then want to make up?
Personally, I say crApple, Cook and his team of Lawyer/Thugs can go eat fish heads.
They wanted a war - they got it. In my opinion, they didn't declare war on just Android, or Samsung... they started something that will spread far and wide, in all things that are/can be patented - if it's not stopped SOON.

Hows that saying go?
"Never do an enemy a small injury."

THAT was their first major mistake in all this.
 
Hey- I think it was my idea to have the microphone at one end of the phone and the earpiece on the other

end-can I sue everybody?
