This case involved Teligent suing ClaraVista. The case centered on the theft of trade secrets, in this case the theft of an architecture and a database schema developed for Teligent's "Bill Presentment" system.
Teligent claimed that ClaraVista had used Teligent trade secrets in developing a similar system for another client.
The case was settled out-of-court, after an associate found source code and a CD-ROM that showed that the Teligent system and the competitor's system were residing on the same server's hard drive.
Dr. Kerschberg wrote memoranda regarding system architecture, database management systems, data models, etc. He also attended depositions and provided questions for counsel.
