I don't believe S&G is handling the appeal for World's. In past appeals World's had other law firms handle them so I believe World's is paying the legal fees.
Below is a Pacer document the shows who their attorney is in this appeal, Wayne Helge'
Case: 21-1990 Document: 25 Page: 1 Filed: 11/29/2021
No. 2021-1990
United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit
WORLDS INC.,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
ACTIVISION BLIZZARD INC., BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT, INC.,
ACTIVISION PUBLISHING, INC.,
Defendants-Appellees
On Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts
in Case No. 1:12-cv-10576-DJC, Judge Denise J. Casper
STATEMENT OF ARGUING COUNSEL IN SUPPORT OF RESPONSE TO
ADVISE OF SCHEDULING CONFLICTS
I respectfully believe an oral argument scheduled on March 9, March 10, or
March 11, 2022 in this case would present a scheduling conflict for me, due to my
obligations as primary local counsel for the plaintiffs in Conti Temic
Microelectronic GmbH, et al., v. Arigna Tech. Ltd., Civil Action No. 1:21-cv-826-
AJT-JFA, currently pending before the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia (Alexandria Division).
The Rule 16(B) Scheduling Order issued in that case sets the close-ofdiscovery deadline for March 11, 2022, and establishes the week of March 7-11,
Case: 21-1990 Document: 25 Page: 2 Filed: 11/29/2021
2022 for any rebuttal expert depositions that may occur. In my opinion, I
anticipate numerous activities to occur near the close-of-discovery deadline that
will require immediate and proper attention and diligence by me as local counsel,
including briefing and oral hearing obligations before the District Court during the
period of March 9-11, 2022. I respectfully request that this Court accept my
obligations in this co-pending lawsuit as good cause for the identified conflict
during March 9-11, 2022.
Should this conflict be resolved or any other conflicts arise before argument
is scheduled, I will promptly supplement this statement and notice.
