Following all this is difficult, but prior to the final judgment in favor of Huawei regarding 774, all of the other stipulations(?) with other companies, including Apple, were to postpone the final determination on 774 and proceed with the patents not encumbered by the CO ruling--so no damage had been done. By sacrificing the final 774 decision to Huawei, we for the first time became damaged and had something to appeal. Under the new law, cases cannot be literally bundled like they used to. The court can attempt to streamline the process with everyone's approval, however each case stands on it's own merit. Apple, therefore, has no right to participate in the appeal process of the collateral estoppel ruling in the Huawei case and has no right to know the outcome. They are asking to undo what they signed off on to get that right back after the fact. Hope the judge sees the clear path and upholds our side. It is all about gaining leverage and we might have gotten a leg up with this round.
