It’s payback time. UK judge who ruled against Apple and made the company to issue multiple statements stating that Samsung did not copy the design of the iPad has been hired on by Samsung to act as an expert in an ITC investigation according to FOSS Patents.
According to Foss Patents, Samsung submitted a list of names of expert witnesses whom the company wishes to file Protective Order Subscriptions for. Jacob is listed as one of the experts to appear at the trial.
Jacob retired from the Court of Appeal in March of 2011, but British law allows former judges to be invited to sit on the bench of a case, which he did for Samsung vs. Apple. Apparently, British law also exempts former judges from having to comply with any regulations about being hired by the same party you favored in a ruling less than four months after your decision.
