SAN FRANCISCO – Zynga Inc. has settled its trade secrets case against a former executive and online gaming rival Kixeye, ending a closely watched legal battle that focused employers in Silicon Valley and nationwide on the impact of new technologies like cloud-based storage devices on commercial secrets.
Company representatives and their attorneys declined to discuss details of the settlement, which was noticed earlier this week, but provided the following joint statement: "Zynga Inc. and KIXEYE Inc. have reached a mutually agreeable settlement of their litigation involving Alan Patmore in San Francisco Superior Court."
