Apple and Samsung finally met after Judge Lucy Koh informed that the two would have to meet to reduce the number of patent claims at issue in their litigation. Now, each has compied with Samsung dropping its total number of asserted patent claims from 75 to 15.

Apple reduced its case to one claim from each of its asserted utility patents, its four iPhone and one iPad design patents and its trade dress claims for the two devices.

Either party can reassert the dismissed claims in a later lawsuit since they did so without prejudice.
