What a whirlwind week it’s been—we know many of you have felt like you were on a roller coaster ride! Now that Judge Scott has confirmed Utah Fits All can continue operating without interruption while the Utah Supreme Court considers the case, we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief.
The appeal of Judge Scott’s ruling will proceed after she issues a decision on Claims Three and Four, as discussed at Wednesday’s Status Conference. While we don’t yet have a timeline for a ruling from the Utah Supreme Court, history tells us the process can take quite a while—often stretching over several months and potentially extending well into next year. Below is a typical overview of the appeals process, with each stage potentially adding additional time before a final decision is reached.
Stages:
✅ Petition for interlocutory appeal proceedings
✅ Merits briefing
✅ Oral argument
✅ Decision by Utah Supreme Court
Each specific step may take weeks or months to complete
→ Filing of legal briefs
→ Reply briefs
→ Scheduling of oral arguments
→ Oral arguments before the Court
→ Deliberation by the Justices
→ Issuing the final opinion
We know it can feel uncertain, but we’re here to keep you informed every step of the way!
Remember, it’s all worth it!
