United States Statute 28, Section 1782 provides for the Petitioner, CPC Patent Technologies Pty Ltd, to obtain discovery from Respondent, Apple, Inc. located in the US, so that CPC could file a patent infringement lawsuit against Apple Retail Germany in Germany.
Charter Pacific refers to its previous postings dated 15 November 2023 and 6 January 2023 where the Northern District of California Court upheld CPC’s motion seeking discovery documents from Apple Inc. in the US for use in Germany. Apple has been non-compliant with these court orders under USC 1728, which is constitutional law in the USA.
Apple Inc. subsequently filed another motion to appeal these orders under Section 1782 in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a concerted effort to prevent CPC’s discovery for its proposed infringement case against Apple in Germany.
