JUDGE REYNA: MORE DESIGNERS RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTIONS IN LKQ v. GM

My blog post yesterday provided one answer to Judge Reyna’s questions during oral argument of the LKQ v. GM.  He asked:

“Looking at all the amicus briefs that we got, and we’ve got quite a few of them, almost all of them, if not all, are within the auto parts and auto industry. Where’s everybody else? Where’s the outcry? Where are the other designers?”

I pointed to the brief filed on behalf of the Institute of Design Science and Public Policy (IDSPP) and 36 distinguished industrial designers, and the posting on IPWatchdog discussing same.

It was brought to my attention that the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) also filed an amicus brief – co-authored by noted design lawyer Robert Katz -  that is relevant to answering Judge Reyna’s questions.  The voices of designers - other than those from the auto industry - are loud and clear.
