Samsung and Apple are arch rivals and the rivalry goes a step forward when it comes to patents. Both the companies are fighting in different patent claims in different courtrooms across the globe. Is there any immediate solution of this problem? Answer is NO.

From a latest report from Koran news agency it is now clear that why Samsung does not want to settle down all the differences with Apple.

In one stage Samsung was looking to enter a cross-licensing agreement with Apple. But Apple is not in a mood to do that. Apple wants a whopping fee of $30 - $40 per tablet to license with patents. Apart from that Apple also wants $600 million for Samsung’s 20 million Galaxy S4 sale. This is definitely a dual policy of Apple as it charges $5 to HTC for each smartphone.

That is not the end of the story, Apple also wants Samsung to sign a anti-cloning agreement. This will stop Samsung from implementing any Apple related patents on Galaxy devices.

With all these demands Samsung stopped to proceed with any talks with Apple when it comes to patents and cross-licensing agreements.

It is also worth to mention that it is reported that Apple signed agreement with Samsung to obtain iPhone chips in 2015 from the Korean electronics giant.
