It's not that all of them support Samsung's position against Apple, rather they are aware of the implications of a Supreme Court decision on matters of patent infringement, particularly related to design patents and the damages associated with infringement. The judicial system often comes under fire for not doing enough to stop patent trolls so a decision by the Supreme Court will be a potential game changer. The idea is to throw their weight behind this patent infringement case and ultimately convince the federal government to bring about patent reforms that will prevent patent trolls from making money off of intellectual property. Newegg, a major electronics retailer, filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court alongside major tech companies including Facebook, Google, Dell, HP, eBay and Pegasystems. Even farmers and small businesses have done the same. Samsung and Apple have not commented on these amicus briefs.
