Cooley successfully defended Activision Blizzard and certain officers in a securities class action filed in the Central District of California alleging the company made false and misleading statements regarding the termination of its partnership with Bungie LLC and its future involvement with the Destiny video game franchise. The court ultimately granted our motion to dismiss and the plaintiff did not appeal the trial court’s ruling.

Cooley obtained a victory for Qualcomm and its executives in a securities class action filed in the Southern District of California. The plaintiffs, relying heavily on “confidential witnesses,” alleged the company misled investors by failing to disclose overheating problems with a high-end chipset and the impending loss of a large customer. Piercing through these allegations, the court granted our motion to dismiss with leave to amend after oral argument. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint and we filed and argued another motion to dismiss. The court ultimately granted our second motion to dismiss with prejudice, and the ruling was affirmed on appeal.
