Samsung has reportedly hired a judge who favoured the Korean mobile maker in a recent court case against rival Apple.

UK Judge Robin Jacob served on the bench last year in a case that forced Apple to publish an apology notice asserting that Samsung did not infringe on the design of the iPad for its own tablet.

And, according to a letter to the court from Samsung obtained by Foss Patents, Jacob has been hired by Samsung as one of the nine legal experts for the case, the report said.

Jacob's new job comes less than four months after he presided over the case between Samsung and Apple, it added.
