Apple Tells Samsung How Much Its 10-year HTC License Is Paying
Apple has been ordered to help Samsung's legal battles a little,
with a court telling it to share full details of the 10-year
settlement it struck with HTC recently. Only it's not going to
be made public.  Apple has already sort of complied, providing
Samsung with a heavily redacted version of the deal's terms that
removes 33 words from the agreement. This cropped version of the
text fails to show the financial details of the agreement
between Apple and HTC, which is presumably the most critical
part of it as far as Samsung is concerned.  Apple claims Samsung
already agreed to accept this redacted version of the text, but
Samsung's now won the right for the full text to be released to
its lawyers ahead of a December 6th hearing in its ongoing case
with Apple.  HTC recently denied it was paying Apple $8 every
time it sells an Android model, claiming the estimates were
"outrageous." Samsung's lawyers will soon know the real number.
