The report conditions approval on Draeger's agreement to bear the cost of software testing by a third party.

A writer who claims to have penned a screen treatment in the 1970s based on author Robert Ludlum's "The Bourne Identity" can continue to pursue his suit against the creators of the 2002 hit movie of the same title.
