Hearing: Apple and Google are conducting secret negotiations

Reuters, citing its sources, claims that Larry Page and Tim Cook held a number of unspoken negotiations regarding a wide range of intellectual property, including current trials related to mobile technologies.

What the leaders of Apple and Google agreed is unknown, but, according to the agency, negotiations between other top managers of Google and Apple are still ongoing, RIA Novosti reports.

According to some reports, the new round of negotiations may take place already this Friday, and consultations for unclear reasons have postponed other heads of companies.

Formally, Apple and Google are not involved in a judicial confrontation, but Apple actively attacks devices based on the Android operating system. The Internet giant, on the other hand, recently acquired Motorola Mobility, which not only successfully suits Apple, but also brought to new owners an extensive portfolio of patents, mainly related to mobile technologies.

The Google last week distance from Apple and Samsung after the jury pleaded the guilt of the South Korean giant in copying Apple technology, obliging the company to pay a fine of $ 1.05 billion.

Most of the impaired Samsung patents relate to software functions. However, Google believes that Apple patents do not affect the fundamental foundations of Android. Nevertheless, the defeat of Samsung, according to a number of experts, opens the Apple road to the judicial persecution of Google.

Apple and Google are the main competitors in the market of mobile operating systems - the iOS program platform leads in the tablet computers segment, and Android in the smartphone market.

Recently, Apple began to gradually refuse to introduce Google products into its devices. So, the YouTube video hosting application will not be preinstalled by Apple mobile devices operating on the iOS 6 planned for release. In addition, in iOS 6, the company will also refuse to use the Google Maps cartographic service in favor of its own solution with the possibility of viewing cards in three -dimensional mode.
