Australian Government to file amicus brief in support of US Supreme Court appeal

Some great news – the Australian Government and Attorney General Michaelia Cash have agreed to file an amicus curiae brief in support of our US Supreme Court petition.

The Government has retained high profile US attorney, Donald I Baker from Baker & Miller to prepare their brief. Donald Baker will be well known to competition lawyers as the former head of the Antitrust Division at the U.S. Department of Justice.
 
This is great news and will significantly improve our chances of the US Supreme Court granting our petition and hearing the case.
 
Thanks to all the people who assisted us in our intense lobbying efforts, particularly Senator Griff and Change.Org, and those in Government in the Attorney General’s Office and IP Australia who agreed to give us time to listen to our arguments.
