Re:Uber finds one allegedly stolen Waymo file on an employee... by Animats on Thursday April 06, 2017 @02:17AM (#14048354)
The case is not at trial yet. They're still in discovery and coming up on a possible preliminary injunction. Evidence is coming in and going on record, but it's not evaluated at this stage. That's why the judge makes remarks like "we're not there yet".

This is a hearing for a preliminary injunction. It comes before the actual trial. So we're pretty close to "there", for the purposes of the injunction. The idea is you stop the (possibly) bad behaviour based on the evidence at hand, to prevent long term damage while the trial winds its way through the courts.
