The legal dispute between Apple and Cisco Systems over the iPhone name has been temporarily suspended.Cisco's lawsuit has not stopped, but the two firms have agreed to extend talks aimed at "reaching agreement on trademark rights and interoperability".
The Apple iPhone, which the company has said will hit shelves in June, was launched last month in San Francisco.
Cisco immediately sued Apple for trademark infringement; Cisco has its own line of internet-enabled iPhones.
The company, which makes much of the hardware that underpins the internet, has owned the trademark on the iPhone name since 2000 after it acquired another company Infogear.
