we are left with knowing only that the Judge asked MNTA to come up with a Memorandum of Law, i.e. a precedent. If MNTA can do this, they probably win.



In the strong sense of "knowing" - yes.

But I do think that there are some inferences of the judges request that are interesting - some stronger than others.

Would the judge ask for the briefing IF he already bought the jurisdiction challenge?

:-)

I like the inferences.

For all practical purposes, we are left with knowing only that the Judge asked MNTA to come up with a Memorandum of Law



Agree that is true given the lack of any contextual info in the publicly available materials from the trial. But i would suggest you can't know that until you look through what is publicly available to see if, for instance, patents are using the specialized terminology in the judges request for brief. Would you recommend not even looking thru publicly available info despite fact that many things are cleared up in looking? Or was the legal brief request ipso facto obvious that no clarifying context would be found in publicly available materials?

Note that the above is not a zing - just genuine, if frustrated, puzzlement at your no-DD approach.
