How would Uber know they are different implementations unless they knew what Google's implementation consists of?
- monocasa 10y agoNot defending Uber here (it's pretty obvious that they fucked up big time here), but in these cases it's common to allow counsel (and counsel only) to look at both companies' IP as part of the discovery process. Counsel then giving access to information they found in that process would be grounds for pretty immediate disbarring.
- tmh79 10y agoas I understand it, some of the details of google's implementation came out through discovery and are available to a teeny tiny team of lawyers of uber (maybe even just one lawyer), but not the engineers. This is standard legal procedure.
