Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, has asked a court to deny a request by Apple Inc. and GT Advanced Technology Inc to keep under seal some documents relating to GT Advanced’s bankruptcy, reports Tanya Agrawal of Reuters.
Agrawal reports, “Dow Jones said in Tuesday’s filing that the companies’ had not cited any authority to support their ‘brazen’ request and asked the court to reject their ‘ransom’ demands.

“GT Advanced and Apple were not immediately available for comment.”
