马来西亚喜剧演员哈里斯-伊斯坎德（Harith Iskander）赢得了由加利福尼亚笑工厂喜剧俱乐部主办的 "世界上最搞笑的人 "比赛。
伊斯坎德尔先生本应赴美演出十次，每次奖金为 $10,000 美元。他只去了三次，而且只在第一次旅行中表演了节目。喜剧俱乐部要求退还 $20,000 美元。
They also discussed expanding Laugh Factory to Asia, but could not agree on terms. Afterwards, Mr. Iskander opened his own “Joke Factory” in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][us_image image=”334″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Litigation flared with both parties throwing claims and counterclaims, including a counterclaim against Mr. Iskander for violating the federal DTSA and the California UTSA relating to business information shared by the comedy club regarding their business operations.
法院驳回了商业秘密索赔，称这些信息属于一般商业惯例而非商业秘密。此外，喜剧俱乐部没有让伊斯坎德尔先生签署保密协议，没有让自己的员工签署保密协议或任何保密条款，也没有将保密文件存放在安全的地方。从根本上说，喜剧俱乐部没有采取合理措施保护其信息。
