\"EU(Reuters) –\u00a0Apple Inc\u00a0and\u00a0Google\u00a0Inc’s Motorola Mobility unit have agreed to settle all\u00a0patent\u00a0litigation between them over smartphone technology, ending one of the highest profile lawsuits in technology.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement on Friday, the companies said the settlement does not include a cross license to their respective patents.<\/p>\n

“Apple and\u00a0Google\u00a0have also agreed to work together in some areas of\u00a0patent\u00a0reform,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

Apple and companies that make phones using Google’s Android\u00a0software\u00a0have filed dozens of such lawsuits against each other around the world to protect their technology. Apple argued that Android phones that use Google software copy its iPhones.<\/p>\n

The two companies informed a federal appeals court in Washington that the cases should be dismissed, according to filings on Friday. However, the deal does not appear to apply to Apple’s litigation against Samsung\u00a0Electronics\u00a0Co Ltd, as no dismissal notices were filed in those cases.<\/p>\n

The most high-profile case between Apple and Motorola began in 2010. Motorola accused Apple of infringing several patents, including one essential to how cell phones operate on a 3G network, while Apple said Motorola violated its patents to certain smartphone features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
