Executive Summary
The court lifted the stay in Gen Digital's breach-of-contract case against Sycomp and approved a targeted early summary judgment schedule focused on whether Solaris patches were covered by the parties' Product Purchase Agreement. This procedural step keeps the case alive but does not resolve any substantive liability — it merely sets a discovery and briefing timeline through early 2027. The ruling is a routine case-management order with no immediate financial exposure or market impact for Gen Digital.
