Of course an outsider can sue. And can then refuse to
disclose during discovery. And can have the court dismiss
the suit with prejudice.
When you launch a suit you are giving the court a lot of
power. The only way to benefit from a lawsuit in another
country without participating in the process is if it's only
for nuisance value, you don't do business in the country (so
can't be effectively sanctioned), there are no reciprocal
agreements with your home country that would allow sanctions
regardless and you can find a lawyer who you can dupe into
helping you. Not all that likely, really.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

although there should (in theory) be no difficulty with Apple,
since they
are
incorporated
in Japan.
In practice however, Apple has shown a
record of difficulty
in understanding that foreign law systems are
not
the same as the US, thus the flow of information
between Cupertino
and Tokyo, London, &c. tends to
follow corporate rather than legal
imperatives...

Outside the US, the whole discovery thinking is non-existent
(except in other commonlaw jurisdictions). In civil law
jurisdictions (as is Japan) each party must bring their own
evidence ("run what ya brung").
Obviously, both Apple US and JP are party to the JP
litigation, and therefore it is pretty convenient for Samsung
that the US procedures have this option. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
