The legal disagreements between Apple and Cisco have been put on temporary hold, the lawsuit has not been stopped but the two companies have agreed to extend talks.
"Apple and Cisco have agreed to extend the time for Apple to respond to the lawsuit to allow for discussions between the companies with the aim of reaching agreement on trademark rights and interoperability," said a joint statement.
Cisco decided to take legal action against Apple after they released the iPhone last month at Macworld San Francisco.
"Cisco entered into negotiations with Apple in good faith after Apple repeatedly asked permission to use Cisco's iPhone name," stated Cisco senior VP and general counsel Mark Chandler.
