Samsung has been ordered to reveal the sales
figures of some of its devices, dashing the South Korean company's
hopes that the sensitive information could be kept under wraps until
its appeal of the ruling in the court case.
Judge Lucy Koh of the US District Court said that the company did
not have a compelling reason to keep the information sealed because
it revealed only sales figures, rather than pricing and profit per
device.
The information had been requested by Apple as part of its effort
to boost the 1 billion dollars in damages it was awarded in August,
when a California jury found that Samsung had violated several Apple
smartphone and tablet patents.
