/EINPresswire.com/ -- SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - April 06, 2017) - Max Sound Corporation (OTC PINK: MAXD) provides the following update regarding the Attia litigation against Google, Flux Factory, and other related defendants.

On March 1, 2017, MAXD's legal counsel and management met with Google and Flux Factory representatives to mediate the pending Attia matter. At the end of the day, no settlement agreement was reached and the parties agreed to leave settlement negotiations open while the case continues.

On May 22, 2014, MAXD entered into a representation agreement with world renowned architect Eli Attia giving MAXD the exclusive right to pursue claims on his behalf against violators of Attia's intellectual property rights.

The lawsuit was filed on December 5, 2014, in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, against Google, its co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google's spinoff company Flux Factory, and senior executives of Flux alleging among other causes of action misappropriation of trade secrets and breach of contract. The lawsuit contends that Google and the other Defendants stole Mr. Attia's trade secrets, proprietary information, and know-how regarding a revolutionary architecture design and building process that he alone had invented, known as Engineered Architecture which Google called Genie before it changed the name to Flux.

Defendants engaged Attia in 2011 to translate his architectural technology into software for a proof of concept, based on decades of his life's work with the goal of determining at that point whether to continue with full-scale development of Attia's project. The lawsuit alleges that once Attia had disclosed the trade secrets and proprietary information which Google needed to bring the technology to market, they severed ties with Attia and continued to use his technology without a license and without compensation in order to bring the technology to market without him. Google valued the project at $120 billion dollars a year. Google later spun-out the business, and the new company was renamed Flux Factory. Flux Factory is substantially funded and has grown according to an interview with one if its founders to 800 employees. Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction against the defendants, punitive damages, and restitution.

As exclusive agent to Eli Attia to enforce all rights with respect to the subject technology, MAXD retained the Dallas, Texas, based law firm Buether Joe & Carpenter LLC to represent the Attia in the suit. Defendants filed multiple demurrers to the complaint, and the Court issued orders allowing the case to proceed. The parties are expected to begin the discovery phase of the litigation in early summer 2017. The case has been vigorously prosecuted, and the Company believes it has a good likelihood of success.
