"Reversible error"
Authored by: Kevin on Friday, August 03 2012 @ 02:12 PM EDT

IIRC, the other courts have agreed that the legal arguments are subject to review, but that the Rules require that the legal argument be made first before the trial court. (I assume because the trial court may have to make findings of fact to support/reject the legal argument). [....]

But Koh has rejected allowing Samsung to even make the legal argument.

Nice Catch-22 there. Samsung is precluded from advancing its argument before the trial court, and by virtue of not having advanced it before the trial court, it cannot be heard on appeal, either. Sounds like hte judicial version of "La, la, la, I can't hear you!"
