Based mostly on breach of contract and deceptive trade practices claims, the spinal clinic's filings are described as "heavy on exhibits and light on analysis," and are insufficient to carry the clinic's burden of showing damages.

J. Garcia finds that the lower court properly granted no-evidence summary judgment in favor of the appellees on the clinical pharmacy's claims for misappropriation of trade secrets, tortious interference and breach of contract. Contrary to the pharmacy's argument on appeal, the time allowed for discovery was adequate. Also, the pharmacy failed to show that it suffered damages in support of its breach of contract claim against its former employee. Affirmed.

J. Autrey denies the apparel company's motion for a restraining order against a competitor in a trade secrets dispute. A number of its employees went to work for the competitor, and the company claims that these employees stole a hoodie and T-shirt design for the tool brand Snap-on, but the hoodies are no longer in production so the company cannot show it will be irreparably harmed without a restraining order.

J. Horan finds that a plaintiff home loan company that claims a defendant financial company misappropriated the plaintiff company’s trade secrets does not need to provide further specific information about the trade secrets to supplement several of defendant’s interrogatories.

Defendant's request for an order compelling plaintiff to provide further information is denied.

J. Ellis partially grants the sued trading platform’s motion to dismiss the suing financial technology company’s allegations of trade secrets misappropriation. The fintech firm accuses the trading platform of violating a prior contract to market the plaintiff’s trading software, specifically a clause prohibiting reverse-engineering the software. The court finds the fintech firm has sufficiently stated claims under the Illinois Trade Secrets Act and federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, but that these same claims preempt allegations of tortious interference with economic advantage, unfair competition, fraud and unjust enrichment.
Court: USDC Northern District of Illinois, Judge: Ellis, Filed On: May 2, 2024, Case #: 1:23cv14192, NOS: Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA) - Property Rights, Categories: Fraud, trade Secrets, Tort
J. Grant finds that the district court improperly dismissed the company's breach of contract and trade secrets action against the ex-employee and the competitor arising after they allegedly stole trade secrets about the company's government contract to improve the competitor's bid for the same contract. The company and the competitor are both tribally-owned businesses. Since the competitor's alleged misconduct is related to its participation in the business development program, the company's trade secrets claims fall under the scope of the competitor's sovereign immunity waiver. The district court incorrectly failed to consider the enforceability of the forum selection clause naming an allegedly nonexistent tribal court as the proper forum before dismissing the breach of contract claim against the ex-employee. Reversed.
