SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 14 – Medidata sued Veeva System for theft of trade secrets. That was in 2017.
On May 16, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jed S. Rakoff held a conference. Inner City Press covered it.
The case was reassigned to Judge Rakoff by Judge Lorna G. Schofield, with the understanding that the trial would still start in July.
And on July 14, the plaintiff rested, in a courtroom full of corporate lawyers, Inner City Press - and two U.S. Marshals. They were there was a Judge Rakoff criminal proceeding to begin at 4:30 pm. But the corporate lawyers, even the one Judge Rakoff jokingly called a "potted plant" - a phrase used in another trial this year - took it to 5 pm.
Judge Rakoff asked them to clear off the tables, particularly the defense table. He quipped that the corporate types must fear the Marshals were present in order to arrest them. How to characterize the laughter? The defense in the trade secrets case will present a brief case.
This is Medidata Solutions, Inc. v. Veeva Systems Inc. et al., 17-cv-589 (Rakoff)
