Two months ago, the Swiss national railway (SBB) accused Apple of using their iconic clock design without permission in iOS 6.
Within weeks, Apple agreed to license the design, settling without court and without reporting financial terms.
Today, the Swiss Daily is reporting that Apple will pay the company 20 million Swiss francs ($21 million, 17 million euros) for the agreement, which includes compensation for using the design without permission for a few weeks before the agreement.
"We're rather proud that a brand as important as Apple is using our design," said the SBB last month. The iconic design was created in 1944 by Swiss engineer Hans Hilfiker and has been used in Swiss stations ever since.
