The full commission is due to decide whether to uphold or overturn its internal judge's decision in January.
PATENT – Wireless Recognition Tech. v. A9.com Inc.
OPINION – Wireless sued Amazon, Google, Nokia and others for patent infringement. A third party sought reexamination of Wireless’s patent, and the patent was rejected for obviousness. Defendants moved for a stay while Wireless’s appeal of the rejection is pending. At this early stage, since the appeal will affect the outcome, and Wireless will not be prejudiced, stay granted. (N.D. Cal.)
TRADE SECRETS – TelSwitch Inc. v. Billing Solutions Inc.
OPINION – TelSwitch claims former licensee BSI misappropriated trade secrets. Under Cal.Civ.Proc.Code § 2019.210, TelSwitch must formally disclose the trade secrets before discovery. BSI argued that the disclosure was not specific enough. The court allowed the disclosure to stand, but TelSwitch is limited to what was actually disclosed. (N.D. Cal.)
CONTRACTS – PNC Equip. Fin. LLC v. Cal. Fairs Fin. Auth.
OPINION – PNC and the Fairs Authority had a contract for renting solar equipment for fairs like El Dorado. El Dorado was told it would own the equipment at the end of the rental period, but that provision was not written in the contract. El Dorado may be able to produce parol evidence that the contract should be rescinded because of mistake; motion to dismiss denied. (E.D. Cal.)
