First of all, there wouldn't have been any confidentiality at all in this
situation because the lawyer wasn't Hogan's lawyer. He was Seagate's lawyer.
Confidentiality only applies to what you discuss with a lawyer that is helping
you, not some other lawyer. Secondly, the fact that a lawyer represented you in
court is public information, so it's not confidential.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Surely, opposing counsel can talk about anything that could be found in public
records.

Just look at the SCO sagas and you would know that lawyers to
do not talk about other companies that they represent. (I do
not recall what but there was once aspect where the same
company had lawyers on opposite sides!) Here I would think
that had this lawyer can not come forward without proper
paperwork. Otherwise Apple would get all of this unusable. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
