Samsung, Apple says no compromise

By Cho Mu-hyun

The widely anticipated two-day meeting between chief executives of Samsung and Apple yielded no agreement between the parties mired in a hot legal dispute over copyright infringements.

Samsung CEO Choi Gee-sung and Shin Jong-kyun, head of the firm’s mobile division, left Seoul Sunday for the United States to meet Apple CEO Tim Cook by order of the Northern District Court of California, in an attempt to settle the patent fight without going into costly legal proceedings.

The two technology giants could find no clear agreement through the talks, a source said. Apple Korea declined to comment on the matter.
