I would agree with all that you stated except..I still question the legality of utilizing the three depositions that were unsealed in Harris ..but sealed in IDCC..It would be perfectly ok to utilize in an article about the Harris litigation..But as far as disclosing them in an article regarding IDCC vs. Ericsson it most certainly is a grey area.There is sufficient public information to utilize in a story regarding IDCC vs. Ericsson..without utilizing the sealed depositions.

Depositions are filed with the Court and often are sealed. Indeed, the Court cannot review the accuracy of statements cited in briefs and motions without referring to the deposition transcript. That said, if the Court gave you the documents, they were not sealed (and, if they were supposed to be sealed adn the court gave them to you, you did nothing wrong, the court did)
