Here is a quote from my father that I never thought I would use on Groklaw:

You've got rocks in your head.

Judge Koh's Order in Apple v Samsung: No Stay on Damages Retrial, Unless... ~pj
Authored by: Steve Martin on Friday, May 03 2013 @ 10:58 AM EDT

Is this Judge being influenced by the Oriental / Asian concept of "Face"?

I have never met Judge Koh, so I wouldn't know for sure, but I doubt it. The attitude you describe would, based on my own interaction with natives of Japan, come from being steeped in that sort of culture from an early age. We see from Judge Koh's bi ographical information that she was born in Washington, DC, educated at Harvard, and has worked in and with various Governmental bodies for most if not all of her career, so chances are pretty good that she's been exposed to and steeped in American culture all her life.

While she certainly might have soaked up at least some of the "face-saving" attitude you describe from her parents, it's by no means a certainty, and I wouldn't be willing to stipulate that it affects her decision-making if indeed the attitude were present.
