Korea Times:

Samsung Electronics and Apple have recently agreed to begin talks to settle patent disputes out of court, according to people directly involved with the matter, Monday.

“Samsung has recently resumed working-level discussions with Apple and the key issue is how to dismiss all lawsuits,” they said, declining to be named.

They added that the recent verdict in the U.S. that admitted Apple’s infringement on some Samsung patents made things much better for the resumption of talks.

If true, an interesting development. [Via 9to5mac]
