These
two brawlers were given
until July to
come together and mediate over their numerous globe-spanning patent
lawsuits,
but it appears neither side needs to wait that long. According
to Foss
Patents,
May 21st and 22nd have been circled on the calendar of a certain San
Francisco courthouse, where Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero will
attempt to arbitrate in a calm, soothing voice for two days straight.
Presenting himself as a confidant who sits outside of the main
litigation being conducted in San Jose, Spero has already asked both
parties to open up and provide "candid" statements about
the strengths and weaknesses of their own cases, as a first step
towards identifying areas of compromise. Fortunately, he still has a
few weeks in which to devise further cunning plans.
