Canaccord Genuity Morning Coffee on Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG): Bringing Out the Peace Pipe?

Canaccord Genuity Morning Coffee on Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG): Bringing out the peace pipe?

While the Apple/Samsung patent battle has captured headlines over the past few days, Motorola Mobility’s war with Apple took an unexpected turn this week. A filing Monday showed that Motorola has agreed to license some of its patents to Apple in Germany. No specific details of the licensing agreement, including timeline or royalty rates, have been disclosed at this point. Tech site Endgadget.com notes that the agreement has Apple admitting that it is liable for past damages relating to the patents and that the terms of the agreement seem to include “cellular standard-essential” patents, which means Motorola’s claims regarding WiFi and video codecs could still be used in future patent suits. Motorola’s complaints with the International Trade Commission have targeted syncing technologies and bookmarking media playback on one device to resume on another.
