Waymo is seeking a preliminary injunction from the court, which would temporarily stop Uber.
Uber Technologies Inc lost a battle to prevent Waymo from seeing an internal report the Alphabet Inc unit is betting will show that its former engineer colluded with the ride-hailing giant to steal driverless technology.
The ruling by US Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley in San Francisco may prove pivotal in a trade-secrets case headed to trial that could influence who wins the race to market self-driving cars. David A. Perlson, an attorney for Waymo, confirmed the ruling in a court hearing on June 7.
