Marvell Semiconductor appears to have lost a long battle to suppress a voice mail at the center of a major trade secrets case brought by rival Jasmine Networks. On Wednesday, the California Supreme Court, in which the dispute had been pending for nearly four years, dropped its review of the matter and sent it back to the court that had ruled against Marvell in 2004. The order appears to let the 6th District's ruling stand, and possibly lets Jasmine use the contested voice mail at trial.
