Samsung and LG have agreed to resolve their OLED dispute outside of the court of law, and both companies dropped their injunction lawsuits. Now we hear that the two companies may begin working-level talks to resolve their legal issues in early March. Samsung Display's Kim Ki-nam said that the two companies are considering cross-licensing patents, but it's too early to decide on that yet.
Samsung and LG have been involved in a legal battle over OLED (and other technologies) IP for almost a year now. DisplaySearch speculated that the two Korean giants may eventually collaborate on OLED technology, mostly due to fear from Japanese competition.
