Don't the lawyers for Apple make a percentage of the overall WON by them? So who is in a hurry?
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, April 17 2013 @ 03:57 PM EDT
Just a question.

Don't the legal team for Apple get paid a percentage of the win. AND, if the
team gets reduced damages, that reduces their percentage.

If so, then, I wonder who is in the real hurry?

Apple, or their lawyers?

Re: "... is the judge required to honor that stipulation?"
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, April 18 2013 @ 08:53 AM EDT
Disclaimer: I'm just a legal lay-person, with no formal legal training, who is
sharing an opinion.

I am sure a judge could overrule any stipulations that he considers to not be
advancing the case (e.g., "We stipulate that the bailiff will be serving us
tea in the judge's chambers").

However, for any reasonable mutually-agreed-upon stipulation, I imagine it would
be exceedingly unlikely for His Honor to declare, "I reject your
stipulation, and am requiring both parties to take opposing stances, and fully
brief and argue the issue they are attempting to stipulate."

If someone knows of a case where that has happened, I'd be delighted to learn of
it.
