“On Friday, the largest U.S. wireless carrier, Verizon, asked a federal court for permission to file an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief in support of Samsung against Apple, and provided its proposed brief at the same time,” Florian Mueller reports for FOSS Patents.
“On Tuesday, Apple asked the court to throw out the proposed brief or alternatively let Apple respond by a deadline that minimizes disruption of the process,” Mueller reports. “At this stage, Apple doesn’t address the substance of Verizon’s brief. In my view, that brief is weak and flawed, and I’m sure that Apple has no shortage of ideas for how to respond to the content of that brief, but for now this is just a proposed brief and the first question is whether the court will let Verizon intervene at all.”
