On Wednesday, November 21, 2012, a federal judge for the US District
Court for the Northern District of California ordered Apple to disclose a
copy of its settlement agreement with HTC to Samsung Electronics. HTC
and Apple announced earlier this month that they had reached a global
settlement dismissing all patent lawsuits between the two companies.
Samsung hopes that the settlement details will assist Samsung prepare
for a December hearing concerning Apple's bid for a permanent US sales
ban on eight Samsung smartphone models and one tablet computer. Samsung
has also requested that the court add to its patent infringement claims
Apple's iPod Touch 5, iPad 4, and iPad mini devices.
