Un judecator american forteaza Apple sa divulge detaliile acordului de licentiere incheiat cu HTC

  Avocatii companiei Samsung au cerut unui judecator federal sa oblige Apple sa le divulge detaliile acordului de licentiere incheiat cu HTC, cererea fiind aprobata saptamana trecuta. In afara avocatilor companiei Samsung, si publicul larg va putea vedea ce brevete de inventie si-au licentiat reciproc HTC si Apple, insa detaliile legate de preturile in baza carora vor fi oferite brevetele si perioada licentierii vor fi tinute secrete pentru a proteja companiile.

This Court has repeatedly explained that only the pricing and royalty terms of license agreements may be sealed,” Koh wrote in a ruling. “There are compelling reasons to seal pricing and royalty terms, as they may place the parties to the agreement at a disadvantage in future negotiations, but there is nothing in the remainder of the agreement that presents a sufficient risk of competitive harm to justify keeping it from the public.

  Practic in urmatoarele zile va fi listata o parte a acordului de licentiere dintre cele doua companii si competitorii vor putea vedea ce brevete a ales Apple sa licentieze catre HTC. De aici ar putea aparea diverse probleme, mai ales in procesele in care Apple a folosit respectivele brevete pentru a obtine ordine de restrictie impotriva unor anumite produse. In ciuda acestui dezavantaj, Apple are norocul de a nu ii fi publicate detaliile de licentiere.
