Judge Robinson recently issued a discovery order in the ongoing patent infringement dispute between Mobilemedia Ideas and Apple. Plaintiff Mobilemedia Ideas filed a request for “‘discovery necessary to allow the parties to be prepared to try the damages case’ as soon as possible after the court’s decision on the parties’ post-trial motions.” Judge Robinson denied the request, stating “[t]he court is not inclined to change its standard practice of bifurcating damages until the issue of liability has been decided by the Federal Circuit, until such time (if ever) the Federal Circuit requires the court to abandon said practice.” See Mobilemedia Ideas LLC v. Apple Inc., C.A. No. 10-258-SLR, Order at 1 (D. Del. Apr. 2, 2013).
