STATEMENT OF FACTS
I. Theft of Trade Secrets
The record reflects that Defendant partnered with a direct competitor to orchestrate a malicious campaign of corporate espionage. [CR 817]. This included stealing proprietary algorithm source code worth over $2.5 million annually, and systematically diverting Plaintiff's enterprise clients. [CR 394]
Industry witnesses confirmed that the competitor utilized the stolen source code to secure the AlphaCorp contract, worth an estimated $4.2 million over three years. [CR 357]
Track Change (added): Forensic analysis of the competitor's codebase revealed 847 functions with identical variable names, comments, and logic structures to Plaintiff's proprietary software. [CR 512]
Former employees testified that Defendant provided the competitor with access credentials to Plaintiff's private repositories on three separate occasions between March and June 2024. [CR 441]
Under Southwestern Energy Production Co. v. Berry-Helfand, 491 S.W.3d 699 (Tex. 2016), a court must consider the totality of the circumstances when evaluating the misappropriation of trade secrets. The systematic pattern of misappropriation — partnering with a known competitor to exploit Plaintiff's proprietary technology — demonstrates that the concealment of the $2.5 million in stolen code was part of a coordinated scheme...
II. The June 14 Deposition Perjury
At the June 14 deposition, Defendant's counsel stated that all development servers had been "decommissioned and recycled per standard IT policy." However, forensic imaging of the servers — recovered from a third-party storage facility — revealed 14 months of access logs showing the competitor downloading source code as recently as two weeks before the deposition.
What evidence links the competitor to the stolen source code?
Forensic analysis identified 847 identical functions in the competitor's codebase. Server access logs show downloads from Plaintiff's private repositories on March 12, April 3, and June 1. [CR 512; CR 441]
Sources: CR 512, CR 441, CR 357
What did prior counsel admit about the missing servers?
Prior counsel used the definite article: "these destroyed servers" — not "alleged." 14 days later, successor counsel stated "no servers were destroyed." Both cannot be true. [CR 923; CR 1265]
Sources: CR 923, CR 1265, CR 1330

"What contradictions exist between deposition testimony and the server access logs?"
Three key contradictions found:
- Deposition states servers "decommissioned" vs. access logs show 14 months of continued downloads [CR 6; CR 156]
- Discovery response "no backup media exists" vs. forensic imaging recovered 3.2 TB from offsite facility [CR 322; CR 101]
- IT director's declaration states "standard retention policy" — but policy document was created two days after litigation hold [CR 952]

AI That Learns How You Write
Auto-Suggest doesn't just find relevant text — it proposes specific edits to your draft, categorized by type. Accept or deny each suggestion, and Sound Suite learns your preferences over time.
6 Suggestion Categories
Tone, grammar, structure, citation, clarity, and general — each color-coded so you can scan quickly.
PR-Style Review Queue
Review suggestions like code reviews — accept, deny (with reason tags like "wrong-tone" or "legal-incorrect"), ignore, or regenerate. Bulk actions for speed.
Adaptive Learning Loop
Every accept or deny trains the AI on your preferences. Deny a "tone" suggestion? It learns your voice. Accept a "citation" pattern? It applies it everywhere. Preferences are scoped per draft, per case, or globally.
Keyboard Shortcuts
j/k to navigate, a accept, d deny, i ignore, r regenerate. Review a full batch in seconds.
Every Revision, Preserved
Legal documents go through dozens of revisions. The Version tab captures every meaningful state of your document — compare any two versions side-by-side, see exactly what changed, and restore any prior version instantly.
Track Changes
Inline insertions and deletions highlighted directly in the editor. Accept or reject each change individually, just like Word's track changes.
Named Versions
Save named snapshots at key milestones — "Draft sent to co-counsel", "Pre-filing review", "Final for signature." Each version is timestamped and stored as a complete snapshot.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Pick any two versions and see a diff — additions in green, deletions in red. Know exactly what changed between the draft your client reviewed and the version you filed.
One-Click Restore
Made a wrong turn? Restore any previous version instantly. Your current state is preserved as a new version before the restore, so nothing is ever lost.

Every Exhibit, Extracted and Searchable
Court filings are full of embedded images — signature pages, photographs, handwritten notes, charts, maps, checks. Sound Suite automatically finds them, extracts them, reads them, and makes them searchable by description.
How It Works
-
1
Detect Exhibit Boundaries
Scans page headers for patterns like "EXHIBIT A", "APPENDIX 1", "ATTACHMENT 3" to identify where exhibits begin and end.
-
2
Extract & Filter Images
Pulls every embedded image from the PDF, then filters by size and deduplicates — a 400-page filing might contain 200+ images but only 10-30 actual exhibits.
-
3
OCR & Enhance
Each image runs through a preprocessing pipeline — upscale, normalize contrast, sharpen text edges — then OCR extracts readable text, even from faded or poorly scanned originals.
-
4
Index for Semantic Search
The extracted text is embedded into the vector database alongside your document text — so you can search exhibits by meaning, not just filename. Ask "find the signature page from the service agreement" and it finds it.
All exhibits are stored locally at public/exhibits/{caseId}/ with descriptive filenames that include the filing type, motion name, exhibit label, and page number.
