"…the 18-page order will bound both parties…" I HATE it that professional writers can't write worth crap. Bind, folks, bind. Simple grammar escapes these people.

@Crabs.

Actually, the 18 page order was printed on a slick new Flubberized paper which retains 110% of it's elasticity. So when the judge drops the 18 page document on the floor (as is customary in Texas and Delaware), it will bound over the lawyers heads. The attorney that catches the legal document first my start either on offense or defense. The other side has choice of field position.

Maybe this is why someone is bankrolling the shysters. It's like "I put all my money in this vault, and you put all yours in, and only you and me will have a key, so the money will be safe, right?"

@zek

Hopefully that was sarcasm.

In case it was not:
In a lawsuit of this type the protective orders keep the engineers from each side from viewing the proprietary documents of the other side. The lawyers can (and often do) hire neutral, third party reviewers of the documents that are then under court order to not discuss the contents with anyone but the lawyers and the court. There can be very stiff penalties for breaking these protective orders including jail time if the disclosure is extreme.

They should just throw the case out, then they wouldnt need to protect anything

"They should just throw the case out"

But the case is the only unique thing about a Mac. throw that out and all you're left with is a standard PC.

Ahh, our courts inaction. November 9th.

So much for your rights to a quick and speedy trial.

Wow, 2009 pretty speedy action. I hear there are still people being held over there for years that haven't even been charged yet.

"I hear there are still people being held over there for years that haven't even been charged yet."

Most are Australians, you don't need to charge them since you already know they're all criminals.
