SAN FRANCISCO — Nokia Corp. and its lawyers at Alston & Bird are seeking compensation of roughly $1.2 million from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan for the lapse that resulted in confidential terms of an Apple-Nokia licensing deal being shared with Samsung executives.
Last month, U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal of the Northern District of California ordered Quinn Emanuel, which represents Samsung Electronics Co., to pay attorney fees and costs that Apple Inc., Nokia and their lawyers incurred litigating the sanctions motion. The dispute arose in a patent fight between Apple and Samsung Electronics Co.
