A U.S. judge has ordered Apple Inc to disclose to rival
Samsung Electronics details of a legal settlement the iPhone maker reached with
Taiwan's HTC Corp, including terms of a 10-year patents licensing agreement.
The Korean electronics giant had earlier filed a motion a motion to compel its U.S. rival -- with whom it is waging a bitter legal battle over mobile patents across several countries -- to reveal details of the settlement that was reached on November 10 with HTC but which have been kept under wraps.

In August, the iPhone maker won a $1.05 billion verdict
against Samsung after a U.S. jury found that certain Samsung gadgets violated
Apple's software and design patents.
Now, legal experts say the question of which patents are
covered by the Apple-HTC settlement, and licensing details, could be
instrumental in Samsung's efforts to thwart Apple's subsequent quest for a
permanent sales ban on its products.
The Asian company has argued it is "almost
certain" that the HTC deal covers some of the same patents involved in its
own litigation with Apple.
