Toshiba Wins a Stay for Temporary Restraining Order on Toshiba's Database Shutdown to Western Digital


The California Court of Appeal in San Francisco has ruled that Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) may resume efforts to protect its intellectual property and deny Western Digital (News - Alert) workers access to certain data and facilities effective immediately.

The court on July 18 (US time) issued a stay on a temporary restraining order granted last week that required Toshiba (News - Alert) to provide such acces. As Toshiba stated last week, this is a proceeding with many rounds and many rulings. This particular ruling allows Toshiba Memory Corporation (TMC (News - Alert)) to reaffirm its commitment to protecting its intellectual property and prevent Western Digital employees from accessing confidential information stored in its databases, an action Toshiba has already implemented.
