Elliot Peters and Gene Paige successfully defended a premier Silicon Valley software company that provides information analysis to the intelligence, defense, and law enforcement communities. A competing software company charged our client with trade secret and copyright violations. After five and a half torrid months of rocket docket litigation in the Eastern District of Virginia, the Keker & Van Nest team settled the case on very favorable terms for our client.
