Court filings from Apple sapphire supplier GT Advanced Technologies have revealed a number of details about Apple’s non-disclosure agreements, including a $50 million penalty for leaking any product information. Lawyers from GT are making the case that more information about the company’s relationship with Apple should be made public “in the interests of creditors and shareholders,” the Financial Times reports.
This comes after GT, which recently declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, asked the court to void its “oppressive and burdensome” contracts with Apple. GT plans on winding down its operations and closing its manufacturing plant by year’s end.
It’s unknown, however, if the $50 million penalty for leaking information is uniform for other Apple suppliers, as that number may vary.
