Apple, Samsung fail to reach settlement in US patent infringement case

Apple and Samsung have reportedly failed to agree on a US patent dispute settlement and will be facing each other again in court on March 31.

In a joint filing, the companies said that Samsung mobile chief Shin Jong-Kyun and other executives from the company met with Apple CEO Tim Cook along with a mediator in February to broker talks.

The filing read that notwithstanding these efforts, however, the mediator's settlement proposal to the parties was unsuccessful, Cnet reported.

However, the filing also mentioned that the companies were willing to work through the mediator.
