02/09/17: Seagate Litigation: Court Issues Order Upholding Plaintiffs’ Claims

On February 9, 2017, Judge Spero of the Northern District of California ruled on Seagate’s motion to dismiss.  In so doing, the Court refused to dismiss (1) the vast majority of plaintiffs’ implied warranty claims; (2) plaintiffs’ consumer protection claims based on Seagate’s statements as to the drives’ annualized failure rates and suitability for use in certain RAID configurations; and (3) plaintiffs’ unjust enrichment claims. Plaintiffs will continue to pursue these claims vigorously.
