If a rogue hits someone with a scimitar of sharpness and the preconditions for sneak attack are in place, does the rogue also get to maximize the damage of sneak attacks?

For reference the [Sword of Sharpness][1] states:

> When you attack an object with this magic sword and hit, maximize your weapon damage dice against the target. [...]
