    My Opinion

    Both companies are dependent on each other

    If their relationship were to sour Apple would run

    into production problems and Samsung would suffer

    a huge financial hit this is why the companies are

    keeping their legal battles independent of their

    business dealings

    Is there a winner ?

    This legal battle may cause great damages to

    both companies, prejudice the consumers

    Apple has extensive patent portfolio but does

    it make sense to sue anyone from developing

    things such as a rectangular product shape

    with all four corners uniformly rounded
