`
`EMC Corporation. In Hewlett-Packard Company et al. v. EMC Corporation (N.D. Cal.), Mr.
`Weinstein represented EMC in a patent infringement suit involving thirteen patents relating to
`mass data storage systems, servers and printers. HP initiated the lawsuit by suing EMC for
`alleged infringement of seven patents. EMC counterclaimed against HP with six of its own
`patents. Following claim construction proceedings and motion practice, the case settled with HP
`agreeing to pay EMC more than $325 million, one of the largest patent settlements on record.
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In-Three, Inc. In IMAX Corporation v. In-Three, Inc. (C.D. Cal.), Mr. Weinstein defended In-Three
`in a patent infringement suit involving software for producing three dimensional motion
`pictures. In-Three defeated a motion for preliminary injunction filed by IMAX that threatened to
`shut down In-Three's operations.
`
`
`eBay Inc. In Tumbleweed Communications Corp. v. eBay, Inc. et al. (N.D. Cal.), Mr. Weinstein
`defended eBay and its subsidiary PayPal against allegations of infringement of three software
`patents related to electronic financial transactions. The case settled on favorable terms during the
`pendency of a summary judgment motion filed by eBay and PayPal that sought to invalidate
`Tumbleweed's patents in light of the prior art.
`
`Trade Secrets
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Cirrus Logic, Inc. In Silvaco Data Systems v. Cirrus Logic, Inc. (Santa Clara Sup. Ct.), Mark
`represented Cirrus Logic in a trade secret lawsuit involving Electronic Design Automation
`technology. Cirrus Logic obtained summary judgment that it did not misappropriate any of the
`plaintiff's trade secrets, which was affirmed on appeal.
`
`
`Alstom ESCA Corporation. In ABB Power T&D Company v. Alstom ESCA Corporation et al.
`(N.D. Cal.), Mr. Weinstein was a member of a team representing Alstom in a six week federal jury
`trial involving claims for trade secret misappropriation, copyright infringement, breach of contract
`and a variety of business torts, which resulted in a unanimous verdict exonerating the client from
`liability. The technologies in the case related to hardware and software systems for the electric
`power industry.
`
`
`Advanced Modular Sputtering (AMS). In Sputtered Films, Inc. v. Advanced Modular Sputtering,
`Inc. et al. (Santa Barbara Sup. Ct.), Mr. Weinstein represented AMS in a trade secret case
`involving PVD sputtering technologies. The case generated an oft-cited decision clarifying
`California's statute requiring plaintiffs to identify their trade secrets, Advanced Modular Sputtering
`v. Superior Court, 132 Cal. App. 4th 826 (2005).
`
`
` Minerva Networks, Inc. In Myrio, Inc. v. Minerva Networks, Inc. (N.D. Cal.), Mark defended
`Minerva against trade secret, unfair competition and false advertising claims involving
`technologies for delivering television and multimedia services over broadband networks. The
`case settled favorably after the court ruled that Myrio had failed to adequately identify its trade
`secrets.
`
`Technology/IP Licensing
`
`
`
`DVD Copy Control Association (DVD CCA). In RealNetworks, Inc., et al. v. DVD Copy Control
`Association, Inc. et al. (N.D. Cal.) and DVD Copy Control Association, Inc. v. Kaleidescape, Inc.
`(Santa Clara Sup. Ct.), Mark represented the DVD CCA in two separate actions alleging breach
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`of the technology license that covers use of the Content Scramble System (CSS) technology that
`is used to prevent copying of motion picture DVDs. DVD CCA obtained an injunction from the
`trial courts in both actions prohibiting sales of products that did not comply with the license. The
`Kaleidescape action is currently on appeal.
`
` Marshal Software. Mark represented Marshal, a leading producer of Internet security and anti-
`spam software, in three trademark and unfair competition lawsuits against competing companies.
`All three cases resulted in the defendants agreeing to rebrand their products to avoid any use of
`Marshal's trademarks.
`
`Mr. Weinstein is a frequent lecturer on all aspects of intellectual property protection and has taught classes
`at Santa Clara University School of Law. Prior to joining the Firm, Mr. Weinstein was a partner at a large
`international law firm and served as the managing partner in charge of that firm's Silicon Valley office. He is
`also a former law clerk for the Honorable Thomas J. Whelan, District Judge, United States District Court for
`the Southern District of California.
