The MPEG LA v. Alcatel Lucent trial began this morning with Sullivan & Cromwell attorney Garrard Beeney's direct examination of Alcatel Lucent's SVP of intellectual property, Barbara A. Landmann, before Hon. J. Travis Laster, Vice Chancellor.
Beeney: You made the decision to put the patents in the trust without knowing whether Alcatel had withdrawn from the pool?
Landmann: That's correct.
