Apple's Samsung Korea Evidence Request Draws DOJ Criticism in U.S. Antitrust Case
Apple asked Samsung Korea for documents to support its antitrust lawsuit, but the DOJ criticized the move for poor timing.
In April, Apple turned to the Hague Convention to request documents from Samsung Korea, aiming to strengthen its defense in an antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. The move was intended to gather evidence crucial for the case that accuses Apple of anti-competitive practices. However, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sharply criticized this step, calling it poorly timed and a waste of resources.
The DOJ filed the lawsuit against Apple in March 2024, alleging that the company stifled competition through proprietary hardware and software. After appeals and motions to dismiss, the case moved into the discovery phase in June 2025, requiring both sides to produce evidence and documents.
Apple’s request to Samsung Korea, made in April, was seen as a late attempt to obtain information now that the legal process was underway. The DOJ’s criticism reflects concerns that the move comes too late and won’t significantly impact the case. The legal and tech communities continue to watch how this dispute unfolds, as it could influence future antitrust enforcement in the tech industry.
