Two things I'm wondering about:

- The document states it is highly confidential. Was it leaked? Otherwise, why does it state it is confidential?

- Samsung is a Korean company. Why is their internal document written in English rather than Korean? Is it common for multinationals to operate in English despite their country of origin?



- The judge required the documents to be released

- It is a translated document


- I'm not familiar with American law, but I presume the document has the status confidential, until it is allowed as evidence by the court.

- read page 133. It shows a signed Certificate of Translation.


Bear in mind that the term "confidential" only applies inside the company - that company needs to ensure its security is good enough.

However, when it comes to a court case you have document discovery and I presume this "confidential" document turned up. The judge gets to decide whether it can be used as evidence, and I presume the only thing he or she considers is whether it is relevant to the case - the "confidential" part is irrelevant.
