Apple and Google’s Motorola Settle ⇥ reuters.com

Dan Levine, Reuters:

Apple Inc and Google Inc’s Motorola Mobility unit have agreed to settle all patent litigation between them over smartphone technology, ending one of the highest profile lawsuits in technology.

A good step forward, and a step that suggests Apple’s litigation against Samsung is not a proxy battle against Google, but a very intentional series of suits against Samsung itself.
