How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that secret backdating inside a company cannot be reasonably detected, so the two-year statute of limitations does not apply
  • finding that investors cannot detect secret backdating inside a company, so the two-year statute of limitations does not apply
  • noting that a late-filed Form 4 is a “warning indicator of backdating”
  • pleading specific facts about each individual defendants’ role in the options granting process, including statements from confidential witnesses
  • dismissing a claim for rescission because “rescission is a form of remedy, not a claim under the law”
  • finding demand excused based on backdating allegations buttressed in part by statistical analyses of Zoran’s options granting practices provided by an independent expert retained by plaintiffs
