The judge in the dispute between the companies Apple and Samsung in the U.S. for its various patents has asked the two companies seeking to reach a settlement before the
jury begins its deliberations on Monday.
Lawyers for both sides tried for months to agree before the trial, but negotiations remained unsuccessful.
For 15 months, the American company Apple and Samsung of South Korea are locked in a case of intellectual property is surrounded by complaints from different countries and has been defined as "the patent trial of the century".
Apple filed a lawsuit last year against his rival in claiming that Samsung had copied some of the designs of the iPhone during the development of their phones. The Asian company argued in response that Apple
had also benefited from its wireless technology and should pay for it.
"If you wanted to show that they have intellectual property rights of these devices, the message has been received. The head of the trial in San Jose, California was quoted as saying.
Throughout the trial, the two companies have been required to submit evidence of its designers and reveal images of some of the prototypes of their mobile devices to demonstrate the similarities between models and others.
The aim was to convince the jury of the originality of the designs and intellectual value of the work of each of the companies.
But now it looks like that they have find peace after agreeing to negotiate on the phone again, but it seems difficult to reach an agreement when the mediation by the courts during the months before the trial did not help
bring positions.
South Korea sold 50 million smartphone, almost double the terminals iPhone sold by Apple, and with a profit of 5,900 million dollars (about 4,800 million) in the last quarter.
Apple claimed in its application a compensation of 2,500 million dollars from Samsung. However, that amount could be multiplied by the decision of the judge, if it considers that, apart from the decision of the
jury.
