Discovery is closed and the jury trial is over in Apple Inc.’s smartphone showdown with Samsung Electronics Co. But with U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal and U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh taking pains to keep the record as transparent as possible, some third-party companies caught up in the San Jose patent suit are still fighting to stop public disclosure of proprietary information.
In an emergency motion filed Tuesday, Motorola Mobility asked Koh to overrule two recent orders from Grewal unsealing a summary of licensing negotiations between Motorola and Samsung in 2000. Apple submitted the three-page document in February to support a discovery motion.
