Judge Shoots Down eDiscovery Trade Secrets Case
A federal judge in Manhattan has rejected DTI Global’s arguments that a sales team lured away by a competitor had misappropriated key trade secrets, such as its e-discovery clients’ purchasing needs, and denied its motion for a preliminary injunction, according to a Bloomberg Law report.
The four sales agents had gone to work for LDiscovery.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff wrote in his opinion that he was “unpersuaded that LDiscovery has done anything improper by entering into these agreements with the Individual Defendants, let alone that the Individual Defendants have breached the applicable terms of their agreements with DTI.”
