A judge has determined that Samsung probably violated a court-ordered agreement to keep Apple documents secret, the latest snit in the epic trademark battle between the companies that started in the summer of 2012.
Judge Paul Grewal asked to look over the documents himself last month. Now, "having finally crawled out from under the boxes," he says it does look like the order was breached and "sanctions against Samsung and its attorneys are warranted."
Apple gave Samsung copies of confidential patent licensing agreements with Nokia, Ericsson, Sharp, and Philips as part of the legal discovery process. The court issued a protective order that said the information could only be used in the context of the trademark case.
