SAN FRANCISCO — U.S. District Judge William Alsup on Friday turned back a request from Google Inc. to hold a lawyer from Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe in contempt for revealing confidential information in open court in the company’s copyright spat with Oracle Corp. The search giant, however, did not walk away empty-handed.
Although Alsup declined to hold Orrick partner Annette Hurst in contempt for blurting out revenue and deal figures during a discovery hearing in the case, he did refer the two side to a magistrate judge to suss out how much Google is owed for efforts to seal transcripts of the hearing after the numbers were made public.
