元器件交易网讯 2月18日消息，据外媒报道，下月苹果三星专利案开庭审判，苹果将要求谷歌高管安迪·鲁宾（Andy Rubin）出庭。
鲁宾是安卓平台的创始人之一，他将被要求解释苹果声称侵犯专利的内容的安卓功能的开发过程，他也可能被要求谈论“谷歌开发的与此相关文件。”2013年3月Rubin离开安卓团队转到谷歌机器人项目中。
苹果也邀请了其它谷歌高管出庭作证，包括谷歌Android市场主管Kenzo Fong Hing、Android工程部副总裁希罗史·洛克海默尔（Hiroshi Lockheimer）、用户体验研究员Ann Hsieh和软件开发人员Fred Quintana。此外，还有谷歌前员工—海伦娜（Helena Roeber），其在谷歌曾负责Android系统“用户研究”方面的所有工作。
三星已经也准备邀请一些著名的现任和前任苹果高管出席，包括行销主管Phil Schiller、苹果前iOS主管斯科特·福斯特尔（Scott Forstall），这些高管都出席了苹果三星的第一次开庭。如果苹果邀请鲁宾，那这将是他首次出席两家公司的专利案开庭审判。
