PALO ALTO, CALIF. - The Superior Court of California, Santa Clara, granted summary judgment in favor of Finnegan client RichWave Technology Corporation in a trade-secret misappropriation case involving wireless communication technology. The court’s judgment resolved all of plaintiff Epic Communication’s claims for trade-secret misappropriation, fraud and misrepresentation, conspiracy, and unfair competition. Finnegan took over the representation of the two remaining defendants after the case had been pending for four years. In reviewing the record, we formulated an argument not asserted by the previous counsel and established that the plaintiff’s agreement with a third party provides a complete release for our clients. Within two months after taking over the case, Finnegan filed a motion for summary judgment based on the agreement, and three months after that, the court granted summary judgment that the agreement released both defendants.
