Take ten paces, turn and fire. That would be one way to solve the differences, but civil discussion between two of the world’s most powerful CEO’s is a good alternative. The two CEO’s have been having casual chats over the patent situation and actually could talk out a mutual agreement between the two, saving both companies lots of time, trouble and a whole boatload of legal fees.
Truce? That’s a far cry from the “thermonuclear” approach that the late Steve Jobs prescribed, but it’s not entirely a shock to see the word bandied about — I’m sure neither company is afraid of pulling the legal trigger should it prove necessary, but words can sometimes settle issues in a way that pure legal might can’t.
