Samsung and Apple are yet to reach a deal which would permit the South Korean firm to sell its tablet computers in Australia, and are "a considerable distance apart", a court heard.
Apple launched legal action against the South Korean company in Australia in August, accusing it of intellectual property
infringements with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, which will compete with the US firm's iconic iPad 2.
Lawyers for Samsung on Friday offered a deal to its competitor but Apple said while it was considering it, the offer had not been accepted, Sydney's Federal Court heard.
"No agreement has been reached," Samsung lawyer Neil Young said. "The parties are a considerable distance apart," he added.
Apple's lawyer Stephen Burley said the US company had not rejected the deal outright but had asked for more information.
