Liquid Networx case that Tim mentioned is worth watching, and the story isn’t over yet. This is the first bad faith jury verdict for trade secrets in Texas. The next step is for defendant (and cross-plaintiff) Liquid Networx to seek attorneys’ fees in July.
陪审团认为 Telegistics 实际上并不拥有该商业秘密,因此提起恶意诉讼。 DTSA 规定,对于恶意索赔,法院可判给律师费。
虽然这一切对 Liquid Networx 来说听起来很不错,但要获得律师费却相当困难。
不久前,我们(唐突地)讨论了纽约的 TransPerfect 诉 Lionbridge 案,原告在提起诉讼前没有任何证据证明被告存在不当行为。 被告在简易判决中胜诉,但仍未获得律师费。
Teligistics公司诉Liquid Networx案,第2019-15000号,德克萨斯州哈里斯县第190司法地区法院。
