    Really doesn't matter when the application was made. It still hasn't been granted.

    WiPower got a patent on this stuff that's unpatentable back in 2008

    Surely there was enough prior art for that patent to be questionable as well

  14. Re:The public loses out once again... on US Judge Orders Apple To Share HTC Deal Details With Samsung · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yeah we do. I can understand HTC and Apple wanting confidentiality, there's all sorts of confidentiality clauses and Samsung seemed happy at first with the redacted document. Clearly the judge isn't and has ordered this limited disclosure.

    It looks like HTC asked for the redactions and Samsung accepted.

    "HTC has advised the parties that it is willing to acquiesce to Apple’s production of the agreement on two conditions: (1) the Agreement must be marked Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only under the protective order; and (2) the consideration amount must be redacted," Apple said, "Samsung has agreed to both conditions."

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/21/apple_redacted_agreement_samsung/

    Sadly no source from The Registers article. Afterwards Samsung asked to see the whole thing.

    http://allthingsd.com/20121121/apple-happy-to-redact-htc-deal-down-to-33-words-just-for-samsung/

    Now it looks like Samsung gets to see the whole document "without delay" now that the judge has ordered it.

    The fact that they were originally allowed to just put a link; abused this and are now required to put the text on the homepage, is what is known as a 'punishment'.

    Fanbois unfamiliar with the concept should think of it as being 'unfriended' by the court.

    I understand that, but the way the story is written, it makes it sound like Apple was wrong to only use a link, whereas they were actually implying. Just trying to clarify

    The rest of your comment you can leave to the fanboys.

    It appears the main objection is the statement is on a separate page and only linked from the hompage

    The judge said that a link from the home page would be all that's needed. It is only now that the statement has to appear on the home page.
