Lighting Ballast Control, LLC v. Phillips Electronics North American Corp.
June 5, 2013
IDENTITY OF THE AMICUS AND AUTHORITY TO FILE
The Federal Circuit Bar Association (“FCBA”) is a national bar organization with over 2,600 members from all geographic areas of the country, all of whom practice or have an interest in the decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The FCBA offers a forum for discussion of common concerns between bar and Court, litigator and corporate counsel. One of the FCBA’s purposes is to render assistance to the Court in appropriate instances, both in procedural and substantive practice areas, whenever the FCBA or the Court believes a contribution can be made.
The FCBA submits this brief in response to the Court’s order of March 15, 2013, which invited interested bar associations to participate as amici curiae in the rehearing en bancof this appeal. The FCBA takes no position with respect to the ultimate merits of this case. Rather, its members desire only to express their view concerning the issues set forth in the order granting en banc review.
