Jason Geller was quoted in the article “3 Takeaways From the Swift End to Waymo v. Uber” featured in The Recorder. Both parties announced that they reached an agreement to settle the case of Waymo v. Uber. As part of the deal, Waymo received a 0.34 percent equity stake in Uber Technologies Inc., or about $245 million based on a $72 billion valuation of the ride-sharing giant.
