UPDATED 8/12/22: We understand that the case settled before Friday morning summations, and so there will be no jury verdict.
Notwithstanding the recent big changes in the Western District, trials before Judge Albright continue apace. This week brings us SunStone Information Defense, Inc. v. International Business Machines Corp. [i.e., IBM], Case No. 6:20-cv-01033-ADA. Openings started at 9AM this morning.
This could be another short-ish trial: Judge Manske conducted voir dire this past Thursday; it’s a two-patent case; and the Court has allotted 10 hours per side.
Plaintiff SunStone is represented by Dickinson Wright, plus Austin practitioner Kevin Kudlac. IBM is represented by Quinn Emanuel and local Texas counsel Parker, Bunt & Ainsworth.
The Court’s notice of trial procedures again includes public dial-in credentials:
- +1 669 254 5252 or +1 646 828 7666 or +1 551 285 1373 or +1 669 216 1590
