Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““BODI urges this Court to not extend the waiver of attorney-client privilege to BODI’s trial counsel, but rather follow the Northern District cases that find the trial counsel’s communications are not discoverable. E.g., Sharper Image Corp. v. Honeywell International Inc., 222 F.R.D. 621 at 634-46 (N.D.Cal.2004); Collaboration Properties, Inc. v. Polycom, Inc., 224 F.R.D. 473 at 475-77 (N.D.Cal.2004); Terra Novo, Inc. v. Golden Gate Products, Inc., 2004 WL 2254559 at (N.D.Cal.2004).” This Court examined those cases and finds they are factually distinguishable: in Sharper Image there was separately retained litigation counsel. In Collaboration Properties trial counsel did not provide any pre-litigation advice. In Terra Novo, trial and litigation counsel were with separate firms. ■ Consequently, BODI’s citation to these cases is less than convincing. Informatica Corp. v. Business Objects Data Integration, Inc. 454 F.Supp.2d 957, (N.D.Cal.,2006).”
