TERiX Motion and Request for Sanctions Filed Against Oracle

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TERiX filed a Motion for Sanctions against Oracle for destroying crucial defense evidence and refusing to allow TERiX to inspect potential evidence in My Oracle Support (MOS).

Oracle admitted that in 2011 it destroyed the SunSolve website, a database and archive of license documents, click-through agreements, and terms and conditions of use as they existed over time (from SunSolve inception in the 1990s through December 2011 when it was decommissioned).  In addition to license and agreement terms, statements and data on public Solaris and firmware patch access, information and materials that document Sun practices associated with Solaris prior to Oracle's purchase of Sun in January of 2010 were also destroyed by Oracle.

Despite industry association letters and inquiries regarding potential Oracle anti-trust actions by several states Attorneys General in 2010 and 2011, Oracle ignored the legal obligation to preserve evidence.

Oracle filed suit against TERiX in July of 2013 alleging copyright and other violations, and TERIX filed counterclaims asserting antitrust claims against Oracle in April of 2014.  TERiX current motion is for spoliation and seeks sanctions against Oracle for the destruction of evidentiary materials and was filed February 17, 2015.  TERiX continues to vigorously defend its position and continue its antitrust litigation filed against Oracle.  The case is scheduled to be tried in Federal court in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in front of Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal in August 2015.
