LG Elec ends 8-year PC patent row with Quanta

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's LG Electronics Inc (066570.KS) said on Tuesday it had agreed with Taiwan's Quanta Computer Inc (2382.TW) to end PC-related patent disputes that had lasted for eight years and started negotiating royalties.

The agreement came after the U.S. Supreme Court in June ruled in favor of Quanta, rejecting LG's argument that it had placed explicit limits on how its patented technology could be passed on.
