SAN FRANCISCO — While Michael Jacobs and Arturo González are in the midst of helping Uber Technologies Inc. fight its no-holds-barred trade secrets battle with the autonomous car unit of Alphabet Inc., the Morrison & Foerster partners this week managed to help another prominent tech client win a complete defense verdict at trial.
Jacobs and González headed up a MoFo team which won a noninfringement verdict in a $110 million copyright lawsuit brought by Phoenix Technologies Ltd. Phoenix’s lawyers at Cooley argued VMWare’s use of its copyrighted BIOS software in products designed for use on servers went beyond the limitations of a license granting rights for use on personal computers. Phoenix’s lead lawyer, Cooley litigation chairman Michael Attanasio, said in an email that his client is “exploring all of its post-trial options.”
