Now Samsung, what I hear Apple saying is that they feel like their hard work has been taken.
Apple, what I hear Samsung saying is that they feel like you are trying to patent rectangles.
Can we just hug it out?
That’s right, folks. Apple’s and Samsung’s top executives are due for another round of settlement talks with a mediator, though past efforts haven’t amounted to much.
The latest “can’t you two just work it out” session comes ahead of a March trial in San Jose, Calif., on the latest patent dispute between the two tech giants.
A prior trial (and subsequent partial retrial) resulted in juries awarding Apple hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, though both sides are appealing various parts of the verdict. The upcoming March trial is over a newer generation of Apple and Samsung products.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
