A few months ago the companies Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), si Nokia they asked an American court to sanction Samsung because his lawyers deliberately disclosed confidential information regarding the licensing agreements between them. Although an American court initially refused to sanction the Korean company, those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), si Nokia appealed against the decision, but it seems that the problem is not only with the lawyers of the South Korea. It seems that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), would have accidentally disclosed the same information, plus others regarding an agreement with NEC, in another process with Samsung.
Here's the latest, absolutely stunning development: Apple actually filed the terms of its Nokia license (as well as the terms of a license agreement with NEC) on a publicly-accessible court docket last October, where it remained for about four months until it was finally removed.
Apple published the details of these agreements by uploading the documents to a server of an American court that can be accessed by anyone, the documents being available there for 4 months. With this in mind, Samsung is asking for an investigation into how Apple could leave documents public for such a long time and asked to sanction the American company, a court to decide this. Considering that Apple asked a court to sanction Samsung even though it was also wrong, it probably wouldn't be bad if someone sanctioned them for the erroneous reporting of some problems.
