Apple Inc. failed to convince a judge that information about its software in court filings that’s already available on the Internet and in print is “‘trade secrets’’ that should remain sealed from public view.
Apple, the maker of the iPad and iPhone, had asked U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco to seal documents containing information about its Mac OS X operating system and computer products, including Apple’s technological protection measure, system integrity checks and thermal management techniques, according to court documents.
