pyslent-- these are Limtex's lines . Perhaps limtex can fill us in on details leading to the judge's "stripped" soliloquy. -------------------- Misconduct during trial Qualcomm counsel continued to vigorously argue during trial that Qualcomm did not participate in the JVT until well after the H.264 standard was published in May 2003. Qualcomm counsel stated in his opening statement: Later, in May of '03, the standard is approved and published. And then Qualcomm, in the fall of 2003, it begins to participate not in JVT because it's done. H.264 is approved and published. Qualcomm begins to participate in what are called professional extensions, things that sit on top of the standard, additional improvements. (Trial Tr., 107, Jan. 9, 2007.) Then at side bar on January 18, 2007, Qualcomm counsel, in an attempt to keep out of evidence a list of email addresses for a JVT ad hoc group that included the email address of Qualcomm employee Raveendran, represented to the Court, “Actually, there are no emails -- there are no emails.” (Trial Tr., 91, Jan. 18, 2007.) He further stated, “there’s no evidence that any e-mail was actually sent to this list. This is just a list of e-mail . . . addresses. There’s no evidence of anything being sent.” (Trial Tr., 92, Jan. 18, 2007.) These statements were made four days after Qualcomm counsel, while preparing Ms. Raveendran for her testimony, had stripped over fifty pages of emails regarding the JVT from her email archives.
