MENLO PARK, Calif., March 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ:CORT), a company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs to treat severe metabolic, oncologic and psychiatric disorders by modulating the effects of the stress hormone cortisol, today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.

Monday's lawsuit comes months after state Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills) introduced a bill requiring require all "urban wells" to have safety shut-off valves at gas storage wells. The proposed legislation is still in committee, Pavley's office said Monday. Additionally, the state's Department of Conservation (DOC) earlier this month released updated draft regulations for natural gas storage wells in response to the leak. Included in the recommendations are the installation of sub-surface safety valves. • RELATED : State senator aims to prevent another Porter Ranch gas leak Supervisor Antonovich expressed frustration with the utility Monday, accusing SoCalGas of failing to reimburse residents who were impacted by the leak. He said the lawsuit is part of a push to ensure that SoCalGas protects its county gas pipes.

In 2003, proprietary UNIX vendor SCO filed a $1 billion lawsuit against IBM. SCO accused IBM of surreptitiously incorporating proprietary UNIX source code into the open-source Linux kernel, thus infringing upon UNIX copyrights allegedly held by SCO. Although SCO initially declined to provide evidence of infringement, the company attempted to justify its suit by claiming that it would be technologically impossible for IBM to make Linux a suitable platform for businesses without misappropriating some UNIX intellectual property in the process. | not-forward | arstechnica.com | http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/requiem-for-a-legal-disaster-a-retrospective-analysis-of-sco-v-novell.ars |
A man who believes his mesothelioma was caused by asbestos fibres exposed during renovations at his school in the Great Southern could take legal action against the state government. John McDonald, 49, was diagnosed with metastatic mesothelioma in July last year. His lawyer, Tricia Wong from Slater and Gordon said there was evidence confirming James Hardie's asbestos building materials were used in renovations and additions to the school. "It is likely that a claim would be made against the state government as the occupier of the school, as well as James Hardie as manufacturer of the asbestos cement building materials," she said. Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that mainly attacks the lining of the lungs, abdomen and the heart. | forward | www.smh.com.au | http://www.smh.com.au/wa-news/asbestos-legal-action-against-state-govt-20120905-25dk6.html |

While Tesla claims Autopilot will make driving safer, the plaintiffs allege safety features were " completely inoperable " and that Tesla's marketing was " all smoke and mirrors ." The plaintiffs further argue Tesla advertised Autopilot as a way to feel less stress while driving when in reality the automaker must have known how " deeply flawed, raw, and untested the software was and remains ." Although Tesla says it will settle the lawsuit, the automaker doesn't talk about the alleged safety claims made by the plaintiffs, including accusations of a " dangerously defective " feature called Traffic Aware Cruise Control. Tesla says it has been honest with customers by admitting the features would roll out a little at a time, but the automaker also admits owners had to wait too long for Autopilot 2.0 features to become active. | not-forward | www.carcomplaints.com | https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2018/tesla-enhanced-autopilot-class-action-lawsuit.shtml |

In February 2020, in response to a legal dispute between fashion company Hugo Boss and the Swansea-based Boss Brewing, Joe changed his name by deed poll from Joe Lycett to Hugo Boss. He said that he was drawing attention to the company's use of legal action and cease and desist letters relating to alleged copyright violations against numerous small businesses, including Boss Brewing, for use of the word 'Boss'. In the second series of Joe Lycett's Got Your Back the comedian launched a fake fashion show celebrating the release of a wrist brace under the name 'Hugo Boss' outside the flagship store of the fashion company with the same name in Regent Street, London.

Dissolving the legal entity also ends Merrill Lynch's need to file separate regulatory disclosures. The move will have "no impact" on how the firm serves clients or on the Merrill Lynch brand, said Jerry Dubrowski, a Bank of America spokesman. Merrill Lynch had about $62 billion in long-term debt as of the second quarter, Hendler said. The move shouldn't affect Merrill Lynch bonds because spreads have already converged with those of the parent company, Mr. Hendler said. Bank of America faced regulatory probes, investor lawsuits and criticism from lawmakers over claims it didn't warn shareholders about Merrill Lynch's mounting losses before they voted to buy the firm for $18.5 billion. Last year, Bank of America agreed to pay $2.43 billion to investors who suffered losses during the takeover, engineered by former CEO Kenneth D. Lewis as the world's biggest financial firms teetered near collapse during the 2008 credit crisis. | not-forward | www.crainsnewyork.com | https://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20130816/FINANCE/130819912/bofa-plans-to-dissolve-merrill-lynch-unit |
That makes today's ruling by the Supreme Court particularly egregious," said Fox, president of Workers United. The case began in February 2022, when Starbucks fired seven workers who were trying to unionize their Tennessee store. The NLRB obtained a court order forcing the company to rehire the workers while the case wound its way through the agency's administrative proceedings. Such proceedings can take up to two years. A district court judge agreed with the NLRB and issued a temporary injunction ordering Starbucks to rehire the workers in August 2022. After the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that ruling, Starbucks appealed to the Supreme Court. Five of the seven workers are still employed at the Memphis store, while the other two remain involved with the organizing effort, according to Workers United, the union organizing Starbucks workers. The Memphis store voted to unionize in June 2022. As as the case proceeded, animosity between Workers United and Starbucks began to fade. | not-forward | sg.news.yahoo.com | https://sg.news.yahoo.com/supreme-court-siding-starbucks-makes-142617218.html |

The loss in shareholder equity and subsequent payments to the counterparties formed the basis for a lawsuit filed by Starr International ( 2013 ), a charity that was one of the largest shareholders of AIG. Footnote 5 Starr is run by former AIG CEO Maurice "Hank" Greenberg. Presiding Judge Thomas C. Wheeler ( 2015, p. 6) noted that, "since most of the other financial institutions experiencing a liquidity crisis were counterparties to AIG transactions, the Government was able to minimize the ripple effect of an AIG failure by using AIG's assets to make sure the counterparties were paid in full on these transactions." In his ruling, Judge Wheeler wrote (p. 7), "The Government's unduly harsh treatment of AIG in comparison to other institutions seemingly was misguided and had no legitimate purpose, even considering concerns about 'moral hazard.' Having considered the entire record, the Court finds in Starr's favor on the illegal exaction claim." | not-forward | link.springer.com | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10551-016-3029-6 |

As Fool contributor John Grgurich noted earlier, today's decline in the bank's stock could stem from the fact that JPMorgan faces a critical shareholder meeting in less than two weeks, after which the role of CEO and Board Chairman Jamie Dimon could dramatically change. JPMorgan's share-price drop wasn't out of line with the performance of other banks, as fellow Dow component Bank of America ( BAC -1.67% ) fell 0.8%, while Citigroup ( C -1.89% ) and Wells Fargo ( WFC -2.96% ) lost about the same percentage as JPMorgan. Moreover, news of the lawsuit didn't move JPMorgan shares substantially in early after-hours trading. But the suit is troubling for a couple reasons. First and foremost, the card-collection lawsuit makes allegations that look eerily similar to the mortgage robosigning debate that led to a massive settlement among various mortgage lenders. | forward | www.fool.com | http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/05/09/will-big-banks-ever-stop-getting-sued.aspx |

Notably, Sanderson Farms and Wayne Farms, initially named separately in the lawsuit, merged following the lawsuit's filing.

I read the document cover-to-cover this morning. Here are my observations. Bad study design leads to unusable results FDA/Pfizer claim that this is a study of 4,526 participants 6 months through 4 years old. This is of course a lie. Like Moderna, Pfizer found ways to whittle down the number of participants to force the "data" to fit a pre-determined fictional narrative. We'll return to this in a moment. Pfizer has a unique problem — and this may be one reason why it has taken them so long to get to the application stage… Apparently, Pfizer thought that this clinical trial in kids was going to work, so they unblinded it on Sept. 28, 2021 and they started vaccinating the placebo group (to destroy the control and eliminate any long-term safety data) on Nov. 3, 2021 (see p. 23). Then in early December, the data showed that the trial had failed. Whoops! So Pfizer had to scramble to enroll even more kids (643 more by my estimation) in the attempt to save the clinical trial with a third dose. | not-forward | childrenshealthdefense.org | https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-covid-vaccine-kids-trial-data |

Nevertheless, the tote's rendering of the Louis Vuitton bag also incorporates relevant differences, such as the use of the interlocking letters MOB (for My Other Bag) instead of Louis Vuitton's classic interlocking LV: (monogram drawing on My Other Bag totes) My Other Bag's Motion For Summary Judgment In its motion for summary judgment, My Other Bag asserted that its use of the Louis Vuitton brand image is shielded from liability as a fair use, because it is a parody of the designer brand. Both the District Court and the Second Circuit concluded that the My Other Bag totes are not an infringement on Louis Vuitton's claimed rights, but are just making playful fun of the Louis Vuitton bags and of luxury purse brands in general. The District Court compared the My Other Bag totes to the classic "my other car…" bumper stickers which, when placed on inexpensive, beat up cars jokingly assert "My Other Car is a Mercedes" (or other luxury brand). | not-forward | www.jdsupra.com | https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/does-louis-vuitton-lack-a-sense-of-13121 |
Microsoft has put to rest another legal problem. The company announced on Friday that it had reached a settlement with South Korean Internet portal Daum. Daum had complained to the South Korean Fair Trade Commission in 2001, accusing Microsoft of breaking the law by tying its instant messaging software to Windows. A lawsuit on the same grounds was filed in 2004. As part of the settlement, Microsoft will pay Daum $30 million, including $10 million in cash, a $10 million advertising package, and the remaining $10 million within various other agreements. In return, Daum would drop its lawsuit. Much like Microsoft's RealNetworks settlement, the two companies will form a partnership, with Microsoft giving space for Daum content on its MSN Web site, as well as promoting the company's products elsewhere.

WASHINGTON — Shutting down Line 5 would cause Canada "grave harm" and violate its treaty rights, government lawyers argued Monday as the federal government rejoined the legal fray over the controversial cross-border oil and gas pipeline. An amicus brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit marked Ottawa's first foray into the ongoing legal dispute in Wisconsin, and its second since Michigan mounted a similar challenge in 2020. A Wisconsin court order issued in June gave Calgary-based Enbridge Inc. just three years — and not a day more — to reroute the pipeline around territory belonging to the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. Enbridge's operations on Bad River territory "must cease" on June 16, 2026, regardless of whether the 66-kilometre detour around the reserve is complete, Wisconsin district court Judge William Conley ruled. Both sides are now appealing that decision. | forward | www.richmond-news.com | https://www.richmond-news.com/national-business/undo-line-5-shutdown-order-federal-governments-filing-urges-us-appeals-court-7562639 |
In a 2011 civil mortgage fraud lawsuit against MortgageIT and Deutsche Bank, the U.S. government alleged that the companies lied about MortgageIT's internal controls in order to qualify for Federal Housing Administration insurance, which guaranteed the loans against default.

Related: Qualcomm Secures Partial Victory in Licensing Dispute with Arm, Jury Splits on Key Issues Judge Ryan D. Nelson, writing for the panel, stated that the plaintiffs' state law claims failed for many of the same reasons as the FTC's allegations. The Ninth Circuit panel affirmed the district court's partial dismissal and partial summary judgment in favor of Qualcomm, though it did vacate a portion of the ruling. This decision reinforces Qualcomm's long-standing position that its licensing and sales practices comply with antitrust laws. While critics have argued that the company's policies stifle competition, courts have consistently sided with the chipmaker in recent legal battles. The ruling represents another setback for consumer plaintiffs seeking to challenge Qualcomm's business model under state and federal antitrust laws.

Earlier this summer, Electronic Arts released for a range of platforms – and critics lapped it up. Special praise was reserved for the gameplay, which one reviewer said "comes as close as ever to bringing you every spin move and sternum-rupturing tackle that you see on Sundays." Another review announced, "If you want a football simulation game, this is it." But the launch of Madden 11 was marred in part by a lawsuit filed on behalf of 6,000 NFL players, alleging that EA "knowingly and intentionally" used retired players' likenesses in. That game – which sold extremely well for EA – allows gamers to control 140 "historic" teams, comprised of thousands of retired players. The players say that EA "exploited" their rights by failing to obtain proper authorization and licenses.

David Dodson, a TransCanada spokesman, said Bishop is incorrect. Dodson said all the oil currently in Cushing likely came from U.S. operations, though it's possible a small amount of Canadian oil could be there too. However, if President Barack Obama approves the Keystone XL pipeline — an 830,000 barrel-a-day pipeline that would run from Alberta, Canada to the Texas coast — then Cushing would get a lot Canadian diluted bitumen, the heavy black viscous oil from the bituminous sands, or tar sands, Dodson said.

5. Oracle Lawsuit Charges Google With Infringing Java Patents Signaling it will aggressively defend its newly acquired Java technology, Oracle sued Google in August claiming that Google's Android mobile operating system violated Java patents and copyrights. The lawsuit pits Oracle, one of Silicon Valley's long-time technology powerhouses, against Google, which has become one of the IT industry's major players in the last decade. Google responded by denying Oracle's charges and in a court filing sought to have the patents declared invalid. Oracle acquired Java and its related patents and copyrights when it bought Sun Microsystems for $7.3 billion. In the suit Oracle called Java "one of the most important technologies Oracle acquired with Sun," noting that it has attracted more than 6.5 million developers. | not-forward | www.crn.com | https://www.crn.com/slide-shows/applications-os/228600023/the-10-biggest-oracle-stories-of-2010 |

HOUSTON — Faced with continued regulatory delays, Royal Dutch Shell announced on Thursday that it was abandoning plans to drill for oil in Alaskan Arctic waters this year but that it remained committed to exploring in the area in the future. Shell has already invested $3.5 billion to drill in Alaska's Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, but the company has been snarled in regulatory delays and lawsuits since it entered into 10-year exploration leases five years ago. The latest hurdle is obtaining an air quality permit from the Environmental Protection Agency, which has been delayed by an E.P.A. appeals panel that recently ruled that it wanted a more thorough review of the impact diesel emissions from exploration might have on local indigenous communities. Shell had been urging the government to make a quick determination, since the company would need some time to get equipment in place to drill next summer when the water is free of ice. Moving the equipment and other preparations would cost more than $100 million. | forward | www.nytimes.com | http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/04/business/global/04shell.html?_r=0&pagewanted=all |

The appeals court, however, found the FTC "failed to sustain its allegation of monopolization" and raised questions about whether there's enough evidence to support the FTC's claim that Rambus engaged in deceptive behavior at all in the standards-setting process. The court ruled that even if Rambus did deceive the engineering council, it did not harm competition in a monopolistic way, undercutting the FTC's argument that Rambus should be punished for violating antitrust laws. Tuesday's ruling follows another big legal victory for Rambus last month, when a jury in U.S. District Court in San Jose found in Rambus' favor in a related case. The jury found that Rambus didn't engage in monopolistic behavior, rejecting claims made by chip makers Micron Technology Inc., Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and Nanya Technology Corp. in a lawsuit originally filed in 2000.

Thierman, a labor lawyer by trade, was the architect of class action overtime suits on behalf of brokers that kicked off in 2005. (Thierman has settled for tens of millions of dollars with every major wirehouse regarding the overtime issue, including a $98 million deal with then Citigroup Smith Barney.) He's taking on the Wall Street brokerages again, and if he has his way, contracts like Banus' will be void and brokers won't have to pay back those upfront payments when they leave a firm. At the very least, they won't have to pay them back immediately upon departure as the acceleration clauses require. What's more, advisors who have already paid back their loans could be awarded damages. At Citigroup, such damages could add up to $50 million or more, attorneys and compensation consultants estimate. If the suit against Citigroup goes well, Thierman says he may file similar suits against other wirehouse firms with similar contracts. | forward | www.wealthmanagement.com | http://www.wealthmanagement.com/legal-compliance/can-you-take-it-you |

There was a time when Samsung and Apple were taunting each other with lawsuits every year, but both companies eventually agreed to set aside their issues some years ago in favor of a healthier market. Nevertheless, lawsuits still happen and last December, Samsung along with Qualcomm and GlobalFoundries have all been sued by the US branch of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology for unfair use of the FinFET manufacturing process. Also last year, Samsung was faced with a class action lawsuit in South Korea following the release of the faulty Galaxy Note 7, which eventually fell through thanks to the company's ability to take quick action, recall the device in a timely manner and offer incentives in some cases. | not-forward | www.androidheadlines.com | https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/10/samsung-faces-lawsuit-for-semiconductor-patent-infringement.html |

Irvine's Broadcom Corp. said Monday it filed a lawsuit in federal court in Santa Ana against one-time acquisition target Emulex Corp. for alleged patent infringement. Broadcom contends that Emulex infringed on 10 of its patents for chips related to high-speed networking and data storage technologies, the company said in a statement. The suit covers technologies that brought the Irvine chipmaker and the Costa Mesa-based maker of electronics for data storage networks head to head earlier this year in a hostile takeover battle that lasted for months. In July, the battle ended with Broadcom dropping its bid to acquire Emulex after directors rejected its upped $912 million buyout offer from late June. The moves ended a public takeover drama that started with Broadcom's April offer of $764 million, which Emulex rejected on several occasions. | not-forward | www.ocbj.com | https://www.ocbj.com/news/broadcom-sues-emulex-for-patent-infringement |
