PM, The product line is 1. ArcCell 2. Acquarius 3. Apollo each claimed to be a dirivitive of the previous version and doing essentially the same job. Cadence claims that product 1. is stolen code and the attorney general agrees with them to the extent that criminal charges have been filed. Because of the criminal charges no discovery was allowed because it could impact the criminal case. If Apollo is determined to be stolen code then the persons charged criminally are deemed guilty without a trial, see the problem? Judge Whyte issued a ruling that allows discover in the civil case prior to the criminal case, a big decision because of the impact on the criminal cases. Judge Whyte can order the products recalled if discovery shows any connection of Apollo to ArcCell which has been determined to be stolen. I suppose their is a slight chance that they removed all the tainted code but the opinion is that it would be impossible in the time they claim to have done it. Actual code may not be necessary anyway due to the base function of the programs being stolen. The name changes may not save them. CD
