Considering they're both infringing on each others products it's time for them to sit down and make a fair deal that's beneficial for them both.

Or for patent law to be reformed so it's possible to make a smartphone, tablet or console without infringing on defensive, vague patents made by the established players. Go and look at the specific patents being asserted, they're trivial inventions or legally unpatentable ideas.

That would off course be the best thing that could happen. For both consumers, and smaller companies who actually want to make inovative and quality products without having to worry about someone suddenly demanding 100's of million of dollars from them because they put a patent on something vaque and trivial.

Does it make a difference if we're talking about smaller companies vs the established, or the established vs a smaller company?
