Oopsie - unintended consequences of a legal action

From cNet News:
Apple ordered by U.S. court to reveal iPhone profit margins
Apple won its recent U.S. patent case against Samsung, but the company may have to pay a price by revealing key profit details about the iPhone.

Judge Lucy Koh has ordered Apple to go public with information about its sales, earnings, and profit margins on the iPhone. As a corporation, Apple does report unit sales on its various products each quarter. But it stops short of divulging how much profit it makes on each iPhone.

Apple has maintained that revealing such information would benefit its competitors. But apparently Koh didn't buy that argument.
Heh - discovery is a bitch! Of course, this will be appealed but... Posted by DaveH at October 18, 2012 12:56 PM
