Samsung and Apple agree on court-supervised mediation to settle arduous patent lawsuit

When it comes to their courtroom battles Samsung and Apple rarely agree on anything, both companies have filed suits and countersuits against each other and even though it has been a few years since this has been going on an end is yet to be achieved. Perhaps the companies are growing weary because both Samsung and Apple have submitted a joint statement to a California district court announcing that they’ve reached an agreement to take part in court-supervised mediation to settle their arduous patent lawsuit.

Attorney from both companies said in the filing that Samsung and Apple are ready to enter mediation talks which will cover settlement terms concerning the first patent trial between them. Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero will be presiding over the mediation that takes place in November. Don’t get your hopes up for a resolution though, the companies have taken part in court-supervised mediation before their first jury trial in 2012 and once again before the second trial last year but an amicable settlement wasn’t reached. Who knows, as they say, third time’s the charm. Samsung and Apple have decided to give mediation another shot as their case enters a second damages retrial which is scheduled for early next year, it aims to ascertain damages worth $1.05 billion awarded to Apple as Samsung was found guilty of patent infringement in the first trial, but since then a series of successful appeals and retrials from Samsung has brought down the amount to $548 million.

Samsung Galaxy A9 in the works, accessories for Galaxy A3, A5 and A7 sequels confirmed

The Galaxy A8 is an impressive mid-range handset in Samsung’s 2015 lineup, and the company is now working on the Galaxy A9. Samsung trademarked the Galaxy A9 name earlier this year, and our insiders have confirmed that the device will be seeing a market release sometime in the future. The Galaxy A8 went on sale only in August this year, so Samsung will likely allow the device some time to shine before releasing the next phone in the A series. There’s no word on the specs either, but we’re hoping the Korean manufacturer will fix some of the shortcomings of the A8, like the lack of a notification LED and the high price tag.

As we exclusively revealed  last week, we will also be seeing new versions of the Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 in the coming months. In addition to confirming that the A9 is in the works, our sources also revealed the accessories that will be accompanying the three devices. The list isn’t unique: Samsung will release an official screen protector, Flip Wallet and Clear Cover cases, and an S View Cover (the S View Cover won’t be present for the new A3, likely because its screen will fall below 5 inches like the original and make usage of the S View cover non-intuitive.)
