Judge In Apple vs. Samsung Trial Asked Companies To Try To Settle

According to a report from AllThingsD, the Judge Lucy Koh, presiding over the ongoing Apple vs. Samsung patent trial, has asked both sides to try to settle before the jury deliberations begin. The report noted that both companies agreed to a phone meeting outside the court.

Lucy Koh noted to both companies that this case has definitely demonstrated both Samsung and Apple’s thoughts on patents:

“I see risk here for both sides if we go to a verdict,” Judge Lucy Koh said on Wednesday. She said that if the companies were just seeking to show the world they both have intellectual property positions relative to tablets and smartphones then “message delivered.”

The Judge Lucy Koh also told companies: “it’s time for peace.”
