After HTC and Apple announced a global settlement on patent dispute between companies, some observers wondered whether this move could trigger a broader effort to settle similar disputes in the industry.

According to a report from research company Retail Sails (via Fortune), Apple again tops the U.S. retail store chains with the highest sales numbers per square foot. Company’s sales productivity is estimated at more than $6000 per square foot, twice as much as the sales of Tiffany & Co that took the second place.
