Sort of required...

AFAIK, if you want to appeal for relief that was raised pre-
judgement in a Rule 50(a) motion (in this case, judgement as
a matter of law in your favor), I believe you're essentially
REQUIRED to file a 50(b) motion post-judgement. Otherwise,
the appeals court can tell you "hey, you had a chance to
file for this relief and didn't." So they needed to file
this to preserve the option for appeal.

Now, you could argue the entire appeals process on this
would amount to sour grapes, and I'm not sure I'd disagree.
But I think this is a largely pro-forma motion.
