Technology Puts a Dream House on Hold

By David Horrigan
February 20, 2009

Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, produces movies, such as the blockbuster Shrek series, using the latest technology. Goodyear, the nation's largest tire company, is no stranger to technology, spending $372 million last year on research and development. So, when Katzenberg and Goodyear went to court last year in a dispute over replacing defective Goodyear heating hoses at Katzenberg's vacation home, they both turned to visual technology to support their positions. The battle provides a glimpse into how trial technology can be used to show jurors not just the structure and mechanics of a multimillion dollar home, but also the craftsmanship and rare wood that went into it ' an important issue when the two sides could not agree on how to repair leaking pipes in A.E., Inc. v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., Inc., No. 05-CV-01317 (D. Colo. 2007).
