On February 23, 2017, Waymo (Google’s self-driving car subsidiary) sued Uber, under the DTSA in the Northern District of California, alleging that Waymo’s former star engineer, Anthony Levandowski, conspired with Uber to steal its trade secrets to allow Uber to make a technological leap forward on its self-driving car project. Early litigation has been complicated by a separate arbitration against Levandowski and Levandowski invoking his Fifth Amendment rights that stymied document production and discovery. This heavily litigated matter has over 447 separate docket entries since it was filed a couple of months ago.
