As the intellectual property lawsuit of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) against Samsung in Australia progressed, the South Korean company has accused the American one of tampering with witnesses. According to Slash Gear:
For the moment, it seems like the courts have sided with Apple. Justice Annabelle Bennett, of the Sydney Federal Court, pointed out that “the expert report is a piece of evidence but can be challenged in cross examination” and highlighted the fact that Samsung could question its authors during the so-called “hut tub” testimony stage.
The charge adds to the mud-slinging between the two companies, which has included a release of key data by Samsung that is a part of its case with Apple in the United States. The information was not admitted by the court, and apparently Samsung believed the public should see it anyway.
