Takeaways from the Swift End to <i>Waymo v. Uber</i>
“It was definitely the trade secret trial of the century,” said Robert Milligan, Los Angeles-based co-chair of Seyfarth Shaw's trade secrets, computer fraud and noncompetes practice group, who was watching the Waymo v. Uber trial from afar. “Just for the prurient interest I'm sad to see it go away,” he added.

The underlying dispute centered on Uber's acquisition of Ottomotto, an autonomous car company founded by former Google engineer Anthony Levandowski. At trial, Waymo's lawyers from Quinn Emanuel presented evidence that Levandowski had downloaded a trove of 14,000-plus files from Google before he left to form the startup and that he had copied the files to his personal laptop.
