Bury the hatchet


Taiwan's Asustek
and IBM said in a statement Tuesday they have agreed to cross-license patents.

Not only will the move end all legal wrangles between the pair on Patents, but it will serve as a basis for future collaboration, they said.

In April 2008, Asustek filed a patent infringement lawsuit against IBM claiming Big Blue had infringed two of its patents, one related to Internet storage technologies and the other to server technologies.

IBM had previously filed a complaint to the US International Trade Commission alleging patent violations by Asustek.
