According to the Wall Street Journal, Cisco and Apple have come to an aggreement over the use of the iPhone trademark.
Apple Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. agreed to resolve a trademark dispute over the term iPhone, which had threatened to put a damper on the introduction of Apple's most eagerly anticipated new electronics products in years.
Under their agreement, Cisco and Apple said both companies are free to use the iPhone trademark on their respective products throughout the world. Cisco will drop a lawsuit it filed in January against Apple in federal court in San Francisco, accusing Apple of infringing a Cisco trademark with a forthcoming cellphone called the iPhone, due out in June.
In a joint statement issued by the companies, Apple and Cisco said they will explore opportunities for making their products work better together "n the areas of security, and consumer and enterprise communications."
The companies said other terms of the settlement are confidential, and declined further comment.
