Apple Inc has accused Samsung Electronics of violating a court order in a patent- infringement case by failing to produce source code as directed by a judge.
Apple said that Samsung "only partially complied with" a court order requiring the company to produce source code for products such as its 4G smartphone and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer, which Apple claims violate its patents, according to a filing in federal court in San Jose, California, reports Bloomberg.
As of the Dec. 31 court-ordered deadline, Samsung produced source code for just one version of each of the products Apple accuses of infringement, and withheld code for all other versions, Apple claims. A trial in the case is set for Aug. 25.
"At this point in the case, it is too late for Apple to make meaningful use of any late produced source code," Apple said in the filing. |
