Court Date Set in Google Trade Secrets Dispute

Slashdot.com reports that Google's attempt to limit the government's subpoena regarding its search records -- which Google claims are trade secrets -- will be heard in San Jose, California federal court on February before U.S. District Judge James Ware. Judge Ware is an appointee of Bush I and a 15-year veteran of the federal bench.

In the meantime, expect Congress to hold hearings on the issue and for the public debate to continue.
