Judge says lesser sentence would give ‘a green light to every future brilliant engineer to steal trade secrets.’
One of Silicon Valley’s most prominent trade-secret cases in recent years came to a close Tuesday, as former Google and Uber engineer Anthony Levandowski was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
That spurred a bitter legal battle between Alphabet Inc.’s GOOGL, -0.63% GOOG, -0.64% Google and Uber UBER, +4.77% that was finally settled in 2018. Levandowski had sought a sentence consisting of home confinement, a fine and community service, but U.S District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco said Tuesday that home confinement would give “a green light to every future brilliant engineer to steal trade secrets. Prison time is the answer to that.” Prosecutors had sought 27 months in prison.He was also fined $95,000, and must pay $757,000 in restitution to Google.
