What are the ways that a nullified verdict might play out? Samsung can
ask the judge to rule on a motion to give them judgment as a matter of law, in
effect saying so reasonable jury could find as they did. Or, if that doesn't
work, it can appeal to the Federal Circuit. And if that doesn't work, it can
ask the US Supreme Court to hear the matter.
If Samsung gets a new jury,
do they get the reversal of small errors, as well as
large ones? If it
gets a new jury, everything goes back to go, as far as trial matters beginning
with day one. But they could get more than just a new jury. On appeal, Samsung
can ask that the evidence not allowed in can be allowed in now, etc.
What
about objections sustained in the first trial? Is there an expectation
that the
same evidence cannot be proffered in the new trial?
Yes, same, but not
limited to that necessarily.
If the judge tries to rule from the bench,
in lieu of a usable verdict, can
Samsung demand a new jury? I don't
understand your question. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
