After seven years, Samsung and Apple have finally settled a lawsuit that alleged Samsung copied Apple’s design for the iPhone.
Apple first sued the Korean technology giant back in 2011, and it won the case in 2012. Over the next six years, the decision was appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, and then returned to the district level. Today (June 27), Lucy Koh, a judge in Northern California’s district court, said the two companies had reached a settlement. The terms were not disclosed.
