To keep all the players straight, a minor correction: from an on online dictionary,

"A person who initiates an appeal—the appellant, sometimes called the plaintiff in error, must file a notice of appeal, along with the necessary documents, to commence appellate review. The person against whom the appeal is brought, the appellee, then files a brief in response to the appellant's allegations."

Edigital is the appellant. (This is not a response.)

Futurewei Tech. is the respondant or appellee.
