SD-3C, LLC v. Oliver
Petition for certiorari denied on April 6, 2015Linked with:
Issue: (1) Whether the Ninth Circuit erred when it held that petitioners are subject to antitrust suits seeking injunctive relief against the foundational terms of a decade-old standard setting and technology licensing arrangement for as long as third parties continue to make sales of goods embodying that technology; and (2) whether the Ninth Circuit erred when it treated its statute of limitations analysis as dispositive on the issue of laches, without considering the broader equitable issues associated with permitting challenges to long-settled business arrangements.
