Interesting; I wonder if DOJ approaches on this stuff will continue (Vance has been clear he's a big tech skeptic), or if things will chill out a little.
In this case, the big complaint Apple has is that there was a really long trial, US v. Google, and one of the proposed remedies is a ban on a “contract between Google and Apple in which there would be anything exchanged of value.”
Apple is like "hold on a minute here, we weren't party to this trial."
When they asked to file some briefs, they were denied. Hence these motions, and also the PR push, I imagine.
I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like any party named in an order should at least be allowed to show up and say some things. We'll see.
