On March 11, Dr. Keith Bell filed a complaint alleging copyright and trademark infringement against Stanford University and its former Senior Associate Athletic Director, Kevin Blue (jointly, the “Defendants”).

In September 2018, Andrew Yeckel filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement against his former employer, the University of Minnesota, as well as the research lab director, Jeffrey Derby. (The details of the complaint are found in this prior blog post).

On September 7, 2018, Andrew Yeckel filed suit in the U.S. District Court of Minnesota alleging copyright infringement by Jeffrey Derby and the University of Minnesota (the “University”) for use of a software program called Cats2D. Yeckel is a researcher in the field of fluid dynamics and a developer of software algorithms. He alleges that by the end of 1993 he and a partner, Ralph Goodwin, “developed a substantially complete multi-physics software program that . . . possessed all of the core elements and most of the features found in the final version” of Cats2D used by Derby and the University.
