The two sides temporarily stopped fighting, at least until the next lawsuit
It is still unclear why after all these years, this incident ended at this time. As Apple says, money is not the main issue and it is true that the compensation is insignificant for both companies. It seems that neither side is willing to end this symbolic war. Perhaps many years later (with many changes in leadership positions), they are no longer interested in waiting for the conclusion.
Apple and Samsung have another big lawsuit in 2014 and ended last year. In that case Apple won the $ 120 million lawsuit because Samsung violated the patent to open and some other licenses. The two sides still have some other disputes, but in 2014 decided not to bring them to court.
