" If not, have they joined with Apple to keep open the question whether a Rule 52(b) "final" ruling has been reached, which would enable EDIG to immediately appeal the Collateral Estoppel."

ORY...FWIW

e.Digital already has a CE appeal going....from a dis-positive ruling on 774 and 108 in the Huawei case.

Apple claims that e.Digital is not allowing Apple to participate in the now on going CE appeal process....which e.Digital states is not true, they can participate. IMO, Apple does not want to because 108 is part of this appeal.

Apple wants to first, through doc 54, stay all proceedings.... "Stay Proceedings Pending Appeal by Apple Inc.."...put all issues on hold pending the appeal.

What Apple is trying to do is appeal the CE on its own....through the 54(b) process(?). To make that happen, Apple has to get the judge to amend his ruling doc 51 on their stipulated partial judgment.. Once that happens, then have the court consider a dis-positive ruling on 774.....Based on that ruled action would then open up the process to appeal the CE....form Apples prospective with 774 only.
