Wait, so... They're implying that Levandowski didn't violate his agreement, but that Uber is liable for using trade secrets...?
Unless those files were marked as theirs (which you'd think Levandowski would have scrubbed if he made them part of Otto's docs), I can't see how that'd be a winning strategy for them. hmm

- azernik 10y agoNo. There are two disputes - Levandowski wrongfully took the documents (which Google may or may not pursue - I don't know what's happening there), and Uber wrongfully used them. They're saying that the arbitration agreement only applies to the dispute Google has with Levandowski directly, not to the separate dispute they have with Uber.
