• Represented Waymo LLC, formerly Google’s self-driving car program, in an action asserting misappropriation of trade secrets and patent infringement against Uber Technologies, Inc. and Ottomotto LLC relating to Waymo’s self-driving technology. Jordan led the technical team, including co-presenting Waymo’s opening statement at trial.

In JAMS arbitration, Fortinet successfully convinced the arbitrator that one former Fortinet employee had engaged in “despicable,” “deceitful and malicious” conduct, and awarded Fortinet actual damages, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. The parties settled shortly before trial in the Northern District of California on Fortinet’s trade secret and patent infringement claims, with the competitor agreeing to make a confidential one-time payment to Fortinet.*
