Microsoft and TomTom have announced that they have settled their respective patent infringement cases against each other.
Microsoft says the cases have been settled through a patent agreement under which TomTom will pay Microsoft for coverage under the eight car navigation and file management systems patents in the Microsoft case.
Also as part of the agreement, Microsoft receives coverage under the four patents included in the TomTom counter suit.
The agreement, which has a five-year term, does not require any payment by Microsoft to TomTom, the software giant points out.
