Experience

  • Roche Molecular Systems, Inc. v. Foresight Diagnostics Inc. et al (N.D. Cal.). Defended Foresight Diagnostics, and its founders, in trade secret litigation brought by Roche. In early discovery motion practice, Foresight successfully forced Roche to dramatically narrow its alleged trade secrets, which in turn led to the Court granting Foresight’s request to engage in early summary judgment briefing. The case settled favorably for Foresight before summary judgment briefing was completed.
