IP Suit Against Marvell Semiconductor Dismissed for Lack of Standing and the end of one case:
Jasmine Networks Inc.'s epic trade secret case against Marvell Semiconductor Inc., featuring a general counsel's accidental voice mail confession, was suddenly dismissed (.pdf) Wednesday.
Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Thomas Edwards ruled that Jasmine doesn't have standing to sue because the bankrupt company had sold off the trade secrets in question.
Marvell's lawyers at Latham & Watkins filed a motion to dismiss the case in the midst of pretrial motions last week, nearly eight years after the case was filed.
Steven Bauer, who led the Latham team, said he wasn't authorized to comment on the case and a Marvell spokesman was traveling and couldn't be reached for comment.
