In a significant legal decision, a federal judge in California has ruled that Oracle’s trade secret litigation against a former employee can proceed in court rather than being subjected to arbitration.

The judge noted that the proprietary information agreement signed by the employee allowed for such matters to be settled in court, rather than through arbitration, which is a significant factor in Oracle’s legal strategy.
