The Federal Circuit has turned away another request from Nimitz Technologies LLC, a plaintiff with links to formerly prolific patent monetization firm IP Edge LLC. In a brisk order, the court denied a request that it “stay issuing the mandate” regarding the Federal Circuit’s earlier denial of Nimitz’s petition for a writ of mandamus. Nimitz had sought the appellate court’s intervention to stop Delaware Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly from requiring production to the district court of a wide-ranging set of information concerning Nimitz’s ownership/control, assets, and legal representation. In its now-denied motion, Nimitz signaled plans to seek US Supreme Court review, terming Judge Connolly “the adversary in this case” and characterizing its appeal as “raising a substantial question, and, indeed, raising an issue which has never been addressed by any court”.
