Judges requests Apple, HTC to cough up settlement details for Samsung’s attorneys.

This cross-licensing deal that HTC and Apple are doing their full capacity to keep under wraps will not be the cause in the post-trial motions in between Apple and Samsung. The maker on the Galaxy line of Android phones requested the important points of the agreement shortly after it had been brokered, as the company feels the terms could affect the results of the $1 billion buck settlement reached in Apple’s prefer last summer.

The details were initially displayed to Samsung with several keywords blacked out. These key words contained the meat on the agreement, including the exact fiscal figures and fees being sold back by Apple and HTC. Both parties haven’t been keen to reveal the exact arrangement, but US Magistrate Judge Paul S. Grewal is requesting that Apple hand over the document in full.

Samsung’s argument is that Apple company has demonstrated through their agreement with HTC likely willing to license patents for a fee, and with the large payout already planning the Cupertino-based company’s favor additional injunctions mustn't be granted. Whether or not certain Samsung solutions are to remained banned from the market is the topic of upcoming hearings to take place the following month.

But we can’t expect to have a look at the deal themselves, as the Judge’s order applies merely to this case, and Samsung’s attorneys are not to share from any of the information they learn from documents supplied by Apple and HTC not in the case. The next phase on the trial kicks off on December 6th, but until Samsung and Apple reach some sort of agreement of their own, don’t expect the courtroom battles to absolve any time soon.
