Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. dismissed claims against each other in a two-year-old trademark lawsuit over the use of “app store.”

U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton in Oakland, California, today approved a request for dismissal of the case by both companies after Apple issued to Amazon “a covenant not to sue” on June 28 that renders Amazon’s counterclaims moot. The companies’ request for dismissal doesn’t provide details.
