Google, Apple: Talking patent peace in our time?
by Charles Cooper and Roger Cheng August 30, 2012 11:25 AM PDT

Maybe Google got the hint after watching what happened to Samsung last week, but CNET has confirmed that the CEOs of Apple and Google have held at least one conversation in a bid to resolve the myriad intellectual property and patent disputes between the companies.

Apple's CEO Tim Cook and Google's Larry Page talked before last week's verdict in the Samsung-Apple trial and plan to talk in a few weeks, according to a person familiar with dealings.

The news of the conversations between the two CEOs was first reported by Reuters.

Reuters also reported that talks are also taking place between the companies at a lower echelon. Google declined comment. We've reached out to Apple and will update the post when we hear back.
