A federal court in California ruled on September 29, 2026, on motions to dismiss in the lawsuit Joby Aero brought against Archer and an employee. The court narrowed the claims, dismissing some trade-secret and contract claims, some with leave to amend, while letting other claims proceed. The court also dismissed Archer's counterclaims against Joby without leave to amend, which limits Archer's own claims in the case.
