Apple was ordered by a federal judge in its patent lawsuit
against Samsung Electronics to disclose licensing terms of a settlement with
HTC Corp., Bloomberg told us. U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul
Grewal in San Jose, California, said in an order yesterday that financial terms
of licensing agreements for other third parties have been disclosed in the
patent-infringement case between Apple and Samsung. He ordered Apple to produce
a copy of the agreement under an “attorneys- eyes-only” designation, meaning it
won’t be publicly available.
In August, Apple won a $1.05 billion patent-infringement
verdict in a jury trial against Samsung in San Jose. U.S. District Judge Lucy
H. Koh scheduled a Dec. 6 hearing for Apple’s bid for a permanent U.S. sales
ban on eight Samsung smartphone models and the Tab 10.1 tablet computer. She
will also consider Samsung’s bid to get the verdict thrown out based on claims
of juror misconduct…..
