Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Neutral . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former engineer Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Burns is Neutral . Media mergers and acquisitions are a hot button topic. And while  Lions Gate Chairman Michael Burns  applauds the recent deal between Disney and Twenty-first Century Fox   he  says not all media deals are created equal.
 Burns  had nothing but good things to say about Disney's more than $52 billion deal with  Fox   arguing the mega-merger serves Lions Gate  a production and distribution company known for such films as the "Hunger Games" series.
"I think the deal is good for us  it certainly validates content  " Burns  said on CNBC's "Fast Money."
Lions Gate  which not only produces films  but has 45 shows on 90 different platforms is diverse enough to survive   Burns  said. And it helps that the big deal will strengthen smaller players  like Hulu  which can then purchase more content from Lions Gate.
It also helps Lions Gate   Burns  said  by reducing competitors in the market.
"I would guess they'll stick to big franchises  the movies they can promote in theme parks "  he  said. "I think the movies will have fewer big  wide releases than the two as separate companies."
When it comes to Time Warner and AT&T  the two companies whose talks have been called "illegal" by the Justice Department   Burns  isn't quite so confident.  He  said  he  worries the deal would give the conglomerate a monopoly  and create incentive to hurt smaller companies.
"What's most important to us is to make sure that we  if approved  are treated fairly. If we're not going to be treated fairly  then of course we would be against it "  Burns  said.
And Lions Gate isn't just sitting idly by.  Burns  said the company has been approached by regulators to give their opinions on the matter.
"We are more than an interested party "  he  added.
