My Opinion
Both companies are dependent on each other
If their relationship were to sour Apple would run
into production problems and Samsung would suffer
a huge financial hit this is why the companies are
keeping their legal battles independent of their
business dealings

Is there a winner ?
This legal battle may cause great damages to
both companies, prejudice the consumers
Apple has extensive patent portfolio but does
it make sense to sue anyone from developing
things such as a rectangular product shape
with all four corners uniformly rounded
