Apple and Samsung took care to note in a joint announcement Wednesday that their decision to drop all litigation between them outside of the U.S. doesn’t extend to existing lawsuits pending in U.S. courts. In a joint statement, the companies said, “Samsung and Apple have agreed to drop all litigation between the two companies outside the United States. This agreement does not involve any licensing arrangements, and the companies are continuing to pursue the existing cases in U.S. courts.” Asked whether such an agreement may come to pass regarding lawsuits in the U.S., a Samsung spokeswoman told us the statement was the only information she had to share.
