“Last week Samsung requested an extension of time for its answer to Apple’s post-appeal renewed motion for a permanent injunction and permission to conduct discovery relating to more recent settlement talks between the parties,” Florian Müller writes for FOSS Patents. “Apple opposed this, and Judge Lucy Koh, the federal judge presiding over two Apple v. Samsung cases in the Northern District of California, issued an order late on Tuesday by local time that confirms the injunction hearing will be held on January 30, the date proposed by Apple, and Samsung won’t get to depose an Apple witnesses on settlement talks.”
“Samsung now has to file its opposition to Apple’s renewed motion for an injunction on Thursday (January 9). Apple may reply within a week. The hearing will go forward on January 30,” Müller writes. “A hearing had previously been scheduled for that day to discuss the parties’ post-trial motions following the recent retrial. The question of injunctive relief will be another — and strategically even more important — item on the agenda for that hearing.”

Isn’t there any way to get away from the idiot lady judges Koh & Cotes? I am so tired of hearing their pathetic names. Who died and made them the master presiders over real patent justice and infringing wisdom?
I should have added also having the ability to read an anti-trust situation correctly and not end up just handing a monopoly to a company like Amazon. Oops! Something they forgot they were supposed to prevent.
The pace at which justice is dispensed in the court of Lucy Koh makes a snail look like a Lamborghini Aventador.
This old chestnut Lucy Koh needs to be replaced, there is no way a replacement can be worse then her. She is biased and sly, makes great effort to look neutral while receiving bonuses from Samsung
I think Cote would be worse. She had written her ruling before the trial, and she lets a friend benefit. That baffled me even more.
The blatant corruption stylings of Cote could not be more clear as the nose on your face.
How does this go back to the same judge???? She put her friend in place and he’s a dufus. What an incestuous load of you know what.
Koh =/= Cote
There’s still something wrong with Koh. She keeps acting like korean judges known to favour middleground on *everything* (there’s never a winner and a loser with them) to feign impartiality.
to those banging on Koh’s head:
at least this time she prevented further delay requested by Samsung. Just to be noted. OK, now bang on.
@SamLowry, Lucy Koh is a master of sly and false impressions, so the prevention of further delay requested by Samsung is the window dressing to promote the false impression. You have been duped by her
