Court proposed Samsung's proved that it does not have to pay the penalty for leaking secret documents Apple.
During the protracted patent litigation between Apple and Samsung, the representatives of the Cupertino have been forced to provide the court (as well as the lawyers of his opponent) a number of confidential documents. The Korean company signed an agreement, according to which the disclosure of information received was unacceptable. But that did not stop more than 90 employees of Samsung, as well as 130 not involved in the case of lawyers access to sensitive documents Apple.
The Samsung claim that such an unpleasant incident took place "by chance" and that the company was "deeply sorry" about the incident. However, now Judge Paul Gryuel (Paul Grewal) believe that Samsung deserves to be punished, because the Korean company could illegally use Apple confidential information for their own benefit.
A hearing on the case of violation of Samsung's agreement not to disclose secret documents Apple is scheduled for December 9. The judge advised the lawyers to prepare for Samsung stronger protection, and Apple lawyers asked for a recommendation to punish the offender.
