Bloomberg News says Samsung Electronics asked a judge to throw out its U.S. rival Apple's billion-dollar trial victory in August since the jury foreman failed to disclose a lawsuit and his personal bankruptcy when he was chosen for the panel.

The Bloomberg report quotes Samsung as saying that foreman Velvin Hogan was asked during jury selection whether he’d been involved in lawsuits and that he didn’t tell the judge that he had filed for bankruptcy in 1993 and had been sued by his former employer, Seagate Technology.

The Korean electronics giant also said in a filing Wednesday in federal court in San Jose, California, that it has a “substantial strategic relationship” with Seagate. Samsung says that Hogan’s failure to disclose the Seagate suit raises issues of bias it should have been allowed to explore.

In the August trial, a nine-member panel headed by Hogan reached a unanimous verdict after three days of deliberations. The jury awarded Apple compensation of over one billion dollars after finding that Samsung infringed on six of seven Apple patents at issue.
