Post Updates
When we last left some of our posts, lawsuits were filed, cases were being heard, or legal action was pending. Below are some updates on the stories we’ve been following:
HP v. Oracle:.
Settled, terms undisclosed.
“HP and Oracle today reaffirmed their long-term strategic partnership and the resolution of litigation regarding Mark Hurd's employment at Oracle," said HP.
"While the terms of the settlement are confidential, Mr Hurd will adhere to his obligations to protect HP's confidential information while fulfilling his responsibilities at Oracle."
We might have learned a lot about the law from such a suit but from the settlement we learned a lot about business. It doesn’t pay to get into a squabble with your potential strategic partners.
Does Susan Bysiewicz have what it takes to be the state AG?
Apparently not.
The Connecticut Supreme Court found that Bysiewicz failed to meet the requirements of General Statutes Section 3-124.
Lindsay v. E-Trade
We didn’t actually comment on this case, but it offers a valuable business lesson about guarding intellectual property and avoiding squabbles that are to no one’s advantage.
