The litigation has moved at a breakneck clip since being launched at the end of February. Waymo has alleged an elaborate plot by Uber to steal highly valuable technology and cover its tracks. A top engineer at Uber has invoked the Fifth Amendment. And the judge has flagged the case to federal prosecutors for a possible criminal investigation. In this episode of Unprecedented, we talk with veteran federal prosecutor-turned-white collar defense lawyer Jeffrey Bornstein of Rosen Bien Galvan & Grunfeld. Speaking at his San Francisco office, Bornstein gives us a look at how the criminal aspects of this case could play out, and also argues that the judge in the case may be setting a \u201cdangerous precedent\u201d by pressuring the Uber engineer, Anthony Levandowski, to yield his Fifth Amendment rights. We also hear from James Pooley, a lawyer for Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in Palo Alto who has been on the front lines of efforts to strengthen legal protections for trade secrets. He tells us that while Waymo\u2019s lawyers have enjoyed some limited success, they\u2019ll have to jettison at least some of their 121 claimed trade secrets moving forward. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any doubt that they\u2019re going to winnow down that list,\u201d he said. \u201cThe first rule of something like this is, \u2018Listen to the judge,\u2019 and the judge has told them he thinks this is way too broad.\u201d ","author_name":"Unprecedented","author_url":"http:\/\/unprecedented.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
