Apple filed 59 patent litigations last year

Yesterday, a report released by Lex Machina, a California intellectual property litigation research company, said that the 10 companies that had the most number of defendants for patent problems in 2013 were all technology companies, of which Apple suffered a total of 59 patent litigation cases last year. There are nine more Amazons ranked second. It is reported that the patent litigation between Apple and the entire Android camp is still continuing, and several lawsuits between Apple and Samsung have not yet been finalized.

Apple and Google announced on Friday that the two companies have settled all patent litigation involving smartphones. There is news that the settlement between Google and Apple does not involve cross-licensing of their respective patents, while the lawsuit between Apple and Samsung continues. Earlier this month, a jury trial in federal court in San Jose, California, ruled that Samsung infringed Apple. Two smart phone patents should be compensated for 119 million US dollars, and Apple also infringed on Samsung patents, should compensate 158,400 US dollars.
