For the non-lawyers on the thread: As a lawyer, you want to depose the top guys, even if they don't have first-hand knowledge of the key facts in issue. They may be too busy/arrogant to cooperate with the company's lawyers in fully preparing for depositions. The top guys may often be right that they know the stuff cold and are great spokesman, but their confidence about what they thinks matters, and that their opposition is wrong, may blind them to opposing lawyers leading them down the path to admissions about what the law says matters (which, of course, may be hotly disputed). Admissions from top officers tend to dispose of the need for further proof.

But the deposition happening means little or nothing in itself.

Anyone with buy points for next week if the blowoff continues?

Deposing the top management can go two ways. It can help Lexar find a legal basis to defend itself, or it can give SNDK more ammunition to obtain a final judgment once and for all. Lexar so far has shown little basis for its claims, so they might just as well try the last resort.
