Qualcomm has filed a very reasonable response to the Heller self-defense motion I discussed earlier: Download QualcommNonOpp.pdf. Qualcomm does not argue against allowing disclosure on a self-defense theory but asks that such disclosures be sealed to prevent them being used in other litigation between Broadcom and Qualcomm. I would prefer that the court not seal the relevant declarations; this case has attracted much attention and has the potential to be a marvelous teaching tool. (And if the declarations are made public, I can guarantee that it will be.) But one can hardly expect Qualcomm to care about that. Nicely done.
Broadcom's response is here: Download BroadcommNonOpp.pdf. It does not oppose the motion either, but asks that the relevant documents not be sealed, or at least that it be allowed to review the declarations in connection with its pending sanctions motion. No surprise on either count.
