Google and Microsoft, two of the most dominating technological forces in the world, have reached a detente of sorts. The two companies have agreed to end their regulatory battles, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The two companies have legal battles pending in the European Union, Argentina, Brazil, Canada and India, according to the report. The companies' chief executives called for a truce Friday.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Google CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly have a more cordial relationship than previous executives, according to the report.
"Our companies compete vigorously, but we want to do so on the merits of our products, not in legal proceedings," a Google spokesperson told WSJ. "As a result…we've now agreed to withdraw regulatory complaints against one another."
