The settlement is said to be similar to the agreement the companies made to end an investigation by the US Deaprtment of Justice over the no-hire contracts; lawyers represented more than 160,000 employees in the recently-settled case. In a letter sent to US District Judge Lucy Koh in California, the sides will present the terms of the settlement in the “near future.” Intuit confirmed that a settlement had been reached, but did not provide further comment on the matter. Units of Walt Disney Co has also reportedly reached a tentative settlement, and Pixar and Lucasfirm are said to have settled claims as well. Apple, Google, Intel and Adobe were also defendants named.
