The The Long Running Battle between Apple and Google owned Motorola came to an end on 17th may.
According to a joint statement released by the two companies
“Apple and Google have agreed to dismiss all the current lawsuits that exist directly between the two companies”
they also said
"Apple and Google have also agreed to work together in some areas of patent reform. The agreement does not include a cross license."
the first lawsuit was filed in 2010 when Motorola sued Apple for infringing on some of its 3G patents and Apple suing Motorola for software related patents. Motorola was even able to get temporary ban on Apple’s 3g devices in 2011 in Germany
in the same year Google acquired Motorola , which was considered as a move to take over on Motorola’s vast patent portfolio
in 2012 the lawsuit Apple vs Motorola was dropped by the Chicago court as neither companies had sufficient evidence on the charges , although the case was revived in April 2014 as a part of Federal Appeals Court Decisions
