According to a document unearthed by Inside Sources (http://www.insidesources.com/facebook-google-others-urge-court-to-review-apple-v-samsung-patent-case/), Google, Facebook, eBay, Dell, HP and other big tech corporations have submitted a "friend of the court" brief on July 1st, supporting Samsung's stance.
