Ross Todd and Caroline Spiezio | February 09, 2018 SAN FRANCISCO — Less than a week into their blockbuster trade secret showdown, Waymo and Uber have settled their dispute over driverless car technology. The parties announced they reached an agreement Friday morning as jaws dropped in a half-full courtroom, on what was set to be a technology-heavy fifth day of trial before U.S. District Judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California. According to a statement from Waymo, the settlement includes a payment from Uber that includes 0.34 percent of Uber eq- uity—or about $244.8 million in stock based on a $72 billion valuation. Reuters previ- ously reported that Waymo demanded $1 billion in settlement talks last year and had asked Uber for an apology. On Friday, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi expressed “re- grets” in a prepared statement, but stopped Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan’s couldn’t comment on the case or settlement. short of a full-blown apology.

While AVs stand to advance industries from farming to long-haul trucking, it’s their ability to completely transform passenger transportation that has caught the imagination of the public. Because AVs are likely to be too expensive for personal ownership, there is 1.

  • The Uber Board Deliberates: Is Good Governance Worth the Firing of an Entrepreneurial Founder? by BRUCE KOGUT *
    ID#190414 CU242 PUBLISHED ON MAY 13, 2019 The Uber Board Deliberates: Is Good Governance Worth the Firing of an Entrepreneurial Founder? BY BRUCE KOGUT * Introduction Uber Technologies, the privately held ride-sharing service and logistics platform, suffered a series of PR crises during 2017 that culminated in the resignation of Travis Kalanick, cofounder and longtime CEO. Kalanick was an acclaimed entrepreneur, building Uber from its local San Francisco roots to a worldwide enterprise in eight years, but he was also a habitual rule- breaker. 1 In an effort to put the recent past behind the company, the directors of Uber scheduled a board meeting for October 3, 2017, to vote on critical proposals from new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi that were focused essentially on one question: How should Uber be governed now that Kalanick had stepped down as CEO? Under Kalanick, Uber had grown to an estimated $69 billion in value by 2017, though plagued by scandal. The firm was accused of price gouging, false advertising, illegal operations, IP theft, sexual harassment cover-ups, and more.2 As Uber’s legal and PR turmoil increased, Kalanick was forced to resign as CEO, while retaining his directorship position on the nine- member board. His June 2017 resignation was hoped to calm the uproar, but it instead increased investor uncertainty. Some of the firm’s venture capital shareholders (VCs) marked down their Uber holdings by 15% (Vanguard, Principal Financial), while others raised the valuation by 10% (BlackRock).3 To restore Uber’s reputation and stabilize investor confidence, the board in August 2017 unanimously elected Dara Khosrowshahi as Uber’s next CEO.

The case has attracted much public attention. Alex Davies has reflected: Until today, the race to build a self-driving car seemed to hinge on who had the best technology. Now it’s become a case of full-blown corporate intrigue. Alphabet’s self-driving startup, Waymo, is suing Uber, accusing the ridesharing giant of stealing critical autonomous driving technology. If the suit goes to trial, Apple’s legal battle with Samsung could wind up looking tame by comparison.1 The intellectual property dispute could have significant implications for competition in respect of self-driving cars and autonomous vehicles. The New York Times has noted that ‘companies in Silicon Valley and Detroit are betting big on self-driving car technology’ and ‘the

  • Waymo V. Uber
    American Bar Association, Section of Litigation Intellectual Property Litigation Committee ARTICLES Proving Damages in an Emerging Industry: Lessons from Waymo v. Uber The case illustrates the efforts plaintiffs should undertake to tie their damages to the specific misappropriation. By Ronald T. Coleman Jr. and Anne Horn Baroody – May 14, 2019 As the dust settles on Waymo and Uber’s surprise mid-trial settlement, the former combatants likely have turned their resources and efforts back to the prize: development and commercialization of the first self-driving cars. For nearly a year, the parties tussled in the Northern District of California over the rights to several technologies developed for the autonomous vehicle (AV) industry. Waymo LLC v. Uber Techs., Inc., No. 3:17-cv-00939 (N.D. Cal.). Waymo claimed that Uber, through the acquisition of co-defendant Ottomotto LLC, had misappropriated trade secrets developed by Waymo and unfairly accelerated its commercialization timeline. Dealing a blow to Waymo, the district court ruled on November 2, 2017, to exclude Waymo’s damages expert—the very witness identified to explain the value of Uber’s wrongful “head start” in the industry. See Waymo, No. 3:17-cv-00939 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 2, 2017), ECF No. 2176 (Order Excluding Michael Wagner, Restricting Use of Financial Evidence at Trial, and Denying Other Relief). Waymo, the court ruled, would have to prove its harm by reference to the admitted documentary evidence alone. Waymo and Uber ultimately settled several days into trial, with Waymo walking away with an equity share in Uber valued at nearly a quarter of a billion dollars.
