 "Apple and Samsung to try mediation over patent battle before next trial")
Tech giants Apple and Samsung have reportedly agreed to attend a mediation session to resolve their disputes over smartphone patents.
The two companies would attend the session by February 19 before going for trial in March if they are unable to settle the issues out of court.
According to The Verge, in the first trial, Apple had accused Samsung of blatantly infringing on a list of patents related to its products and after a series of trials, the South-Korean manufacturer was found to have violated some of the said patents and Apple was awarded damages.
