Description

When this case accusing Motorola of violating patent, contract, and trade secret rights became one of the oldest on its docket, the district court decided to expedite matters by splitting the case in two: the court required Ole Nilssen, the plaintiff, to file a new patent action (No. 96 C 5571) and retained the state-law theories under the original docket number (No. 93 C 6333), thinking that these could be handled quickly. Unfortunately this move backfired, extending rather than abbreviating the litigation. The patent action lingers on the district court's docket, though it looks to the statisticians at the Administrative Office of the United States Courts like a new and independent case. Meanwhile the contract and trade secret theories of relief, dismissed by the district court at the end of 1998, have wandered among appellate courts, looking for a home--a process complicated not only by the division between the regional circuits and the Federal Circuit, but also by the fact that the issues separated for appeal do not meet the criteria for dispatch under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b).
