Apple and HTC have reached a global settlement to their long-running patent dispute. The settlement includes a 10-year cross-licensing agreement. A joint statement released by both companies quotes both HTC's Peter Chou and Apple's Tim Cook.
?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.?
The settlement includes both current and future patents. No terms were disclosed. Apple has previously reached cross-licensing deals or settlements with Microsoft and Nokia. They remain in litigation with Samsung and Google-owned Motorola.
While Apple's late co-founder, Steve Jobs, vowed to go thermonuclear on what he considered Android's theft of iPhone intellectual property, and Tim Cook has asserted that Apple can't be the developer for the world, apparently neither that history nor that position were absolute impediments to a resolution in HTC's case.
