The lawyers continue to gather their billable hours as the legal tussle between data science company hiQ Labs and LinkedIn plays out in the United States federal courts. The most recent update took place in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, with Judge Marsha Berzon writing the opinion, where hiQ Labs was granted a continued preliminary injunction, which would allow the company access LinkedIn’s publicly available corpus of data. The ruling also remanded the companies for further proceedings on the subject. In addition, the court held that hiQ’s actions do not violate the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).
