A breaking news that US Court Judge Richard Posner has ordered Google and Motorola to hand over development details of Android OS to Apple.
Not only that, but Motorola Mobility must also provide Apple information regarding its pending acquisition by Google.
The judge said, “Google’s employees and documents are not within ‘possession, custody, or control’ of Motorola, and Motorola cannot force Google to produce documents or witnesses over Google’s objection.
It is rather strange that a judge should ask for Motorola and Google to hand over critical Android development information to Apple, which is their direct competitor not only in the smartphone market, but in the tablet one as well.
This is going to be an interesting one.
