Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP has described Columbia University’s recent attempt to introduce the declaration of a former Norton Lifelock computer scientist as “utterly meritless.” The declaration in question alleges that Quinn Emanuel’s former lawyers are misrepresenting the computer scientist’s willingness to testify in a significant patent case, which has been ongoing for a decade and involves claims amounting to $600 million. The Federal Circuit received this contention from Quinn Emanuel on Friday, as reported by Law360.
