INDAG GmbH & CO. BETREIBS KG v. IMA SPA

This case involves allegations of patent infringement and trade
secret misappropriation between a former employee, the
employer, and the new employer. Plaintiffs, INDAG GmbH & Co.
Betreibs KG and Wild Parma S.r.L, allege that defendants
infringed U.S. Patent No. 7,648,017 and violated the Illinois
Trade Secrets Act by offering for sale pouch filling machinery in
the United States derived from plaintiffs’ confidential and
proprietary information. The court granted defendants’ motion
to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction over non-resident
defendants and failure to state a claim for patent infringement.
Plaintiffs’ request for jurisdictional discovery was denied.
