We didn't follow this case closely, but one thing
I do know is that there have
been some games played
in discovery. Apple has been sanctioned for
withholding
stuff, and you can read about one example in the first
60 or so
pages of this hearing
transcript [PDF], where Samsung had sent notices of some topics they
wanted
Apple as a company to answer, and Apple refused
to discuss it or comply, saying
it was too many topics.
That made a motion to compel necessary -- more
time
lost -- in a case that Apple had asked to be handled
super fast as to
discovery.
Not haveing read every word, I can't predict a thing
or explain
much, but one thing I think we can assume
is that if Samsung loses, the
discovery games will show
up in the appeal as to what Samsung was or was not
allowed to present to the jury.
This discovery dispute isn't ended here. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
