Filing 64 OPINION AND ORDER granting re: 54 MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by Instinet Holdings Incorporated, Instinet, LLC, Instinet Group, LLC, Instinet Incorporated. For the above stated reasons and for the reasons set forth in the Courts Opinion and O rder dated March 5, 2010, the Court holds that Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgment with respect to their third and fourth claims for declaratory relief. The Court GRANTS declaratory judgment in favor of Plaintiffs, and DECLARES that (1) Ariel has no rights in or to Instinet's current technology or software; and (2) Ariel does not have any of the rights claimed in the Demand Letter, whether pursuant to the 1972 Agreement, the 1975 Cable Agreement, the 1975 Agreement, or otherwise. Be cause the grant of summary judgment in favor of Plaintiffs forecloses the relief requested by Defendant in its Answer, the Court denies Defendants' claims for relief. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case. (Signed by Judge John F. Keenan on 9/20/2012) (cd) |
Filing 53 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER:#100820 re: 45 MOTION to Amend/Correct Answer. filed by Ariel (UK) Limited. For the foregoing reasons, the defendant's motion is denied.

Filing 41 Memorandum Opinion & Order; that Ariel now moves for reconsideration of the March 5 Order under Rule 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rule 6.3 of the Southern District of New York. Ariels motion is denied. The parties are directed to appear for a conference on September 8, 2010, at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the status of the case and Instinet's unresolved claims for relief.

Filing 29 OPINION AND ORDER. #98624 Instinet's motion for summary judgment is granted in part and denied in part. The Court holds that the 1975 Agreement is integrated, unambiguous, and terminated the parties' prior agreement In its entirety. The 197 5 Agreement did not provide Ariel perpetual rights to technology developed by Instinet. The unambiguous language of the 1975 Agreement and the undisputed facts limit Ariel's rights in the computerized securities trading technology developed by I nstinet to the technology developed on or before June 30, 1976, the date the working relationship between Ariel and Instinet ceased. Ariel's first and second prayers for relief are granted. Because it remains an issue of fact whether Instinet 39;s current securities trading platform still incorporates components of the roughly 35-year-old computer technology to which Ariel has licensing rights under the 1975 Agreement, Instinet' s third and fourth prayers for relief are denied. (Signed by Judge John F. Keenan on 3/5/10) (djc) Modified on 3/5/2010 (djc). Modified on 3/8/2010 (ajc). |
