Asked why he sold the equipment under the alias Mark Neumann, Voskerician said he doesn’t like to use his own name online because there are “a lot of breaches on the EBay site.” He said that after he left Stryker, the company was upset to learn of his side business. He recalled being told “there were some equipment inventory issues.”
Jo Hawk, a spokeswoman for Stryker, declined to comment on Voskerician’s employment history.
Under an agreement made in court Thursday before Superior Court Judge Beth McGowen, the Stryker records will remain sealed from public view. She directed attorneys on both sides to reach an agreement over how the information will be used at trial, if at all.
The case was near collapse last month after Voskerician’s previous lawyers bowed out in October. Jinkerson stepped in, and the trial is scheduled for April 25, about 5 1/2 months later than it was originally set.
The case is Voskerician v. Zuckerberg, 114CV264667, Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara (San Jose).
