Goodbye to the war Apple and Samsung for the patent of the iPhone



The two technological giants settle their last lawsuit after the verdict of last May that condemned the Korean to pay the Cupertino company 538 million




End the 'seven year war' between Apple and Samsung . The two technological giants make peace after several disputes in the courts and millions of dollars in paying lawyers. The Cupertino company and the Korean company have reached an agreement to settle their latest litigation, a case of patent plagiarism of smartphone designs.

The agreement comes after the verdict of last May that condemned Samsung to pay Apple 538 million for copying the design of the Iphone . Now the companies "have agreed to withdraw and resolve their remaining demands and resources in this matter," said a statement made public Thursday.

It should be remembered that Aple had sued Samsung for "copying" the original design of their Iphone. The American accused the South Korean of employing design patents as the rounded appearance of the corner s, the design of the bezel that holds the screen to the rest of the phone and the layout of the icons of the applications on the screen.

Both now have agreed a truce after the last victory of the Californians. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed and neither of the two companies commented on the brief court order that sent a litigation dating back to 2011.


In 2012, a US court gave the reason to Apple and ordered the South Korean company to compensate him with 1.050 million dollars (about 907 million euros) for the benefits obtained by the commercialization of eleven models, including the Galaxy S II .

Three years later, Samsung compensated Apple with more than 548 million dollars (473 million euros) and achieved in 2016 that the Supreme Court of the United States exempted him from paying an additional 399 million dollars (344 million euros) considering that the plagiarism only responded to a small part of the devices.

The litigation then returned to a lower jurisdiction, the San José court, which on May 25 ordered Samsung to make a new payment of 538 million dollars (465 million euros).

92% of Spaniards connect to the internet at least once a day Half of the world's population is connected, reaching more than 4,000 million mariners    For the first time in history, the Network of networks reaches 4,021 million people who browse it, a figure that assumes that the Internet reaches half of the world's population, according to data from the Digital report in 2018 by Hootsuite. and We are Social. An increase in users who also move to Spain, where the figure has grown by 2 million to reach 39.4 million active Internet users , which means that 85% of Spaniards already have access to the network. "With 4,000 million online users, connectivity has already become a way of life for most of us. However, while Internet companies strive to provide service to the next billion users, we will see important changes in the coming months, "says Simon Kemp, global consultant at We Are Social.    According to the Digital 2018 report, Spaniards spend 5.20 hours a ...

Autonomous boats will arrive in Europe in 2017 The waters of the canals of Amsterdam will receive the first robots ships    If the autonomous cars begin to accumulate kilometers by the highways of the United States, to the other side of the Atlantic Amsterdam prepares to receive the first boats without captain. "Imagine a fleet of autonomous boats for the transport of goods and people," Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Carlo Ratti said in a statement from this research center. The Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions is working on a project that will culminate in 2017 with the first trips through the capital's canals with robot ships.   The scientific director of the Dutch center, Arjan van Timmeren, said that these boats "offer enormous possibilities" and could have application in environmental and health issues, such as detecting diseases in advance once progress is made in relation to underwater robots. The project wil...

Artificial intelligence takes over the drones

Artificial intelligence takes over the drones An MIT mapping system allows unmanned aircraft to dodge obstacles at low speed     Can a drone only dodge an obstacle? The answer is yes. The Laboratory of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has managed to provide artificial intelligence to a small aircraft to fly through forests and warehouses. Nanomap, the new alternative navigation system allows you to fly over and avoid obstacles, as long as the speed of the device does not exceed 30 kilometers per hour.    Excessively safe maps will not help if you want drones that can operate at higher speeds in human environments," says graduate student Pete Florence, lead author of a new related document. "An approach that is more aware of uncertainty gives us a much higher level of reliability in terms of being able to fly close and avoid obstacles ." Shocks Many existing approaches are based on complex ...
