[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22margin-bottom%22%3A%222rem%22%7D%7D”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Just for fun, I searched “funny trade secret litigation”. Who knew that comedy clubs were (allegedly) chock full of trade secrets!

マレーシアのコメディアン、ハリス・イスカンダーが、カリフォルニアのラフ・ファクトリー・コメディ・クラブ主催の「世界で最も面白い人」コンテストで優勝した。

イスカンダル氏はアメリカへ10回の演奏旅行をし、その賞金の一部として1回につき$万円が支払われることになっていた。イスカンダル氏は3回渡米し、最初の渡米でパフォーマンスを行っただけだった。コメディ・クラブは$20,000の返金を要求した。

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.

裁判所は、その情報は一般的な商習慣であり、営業秘密ではないとして、営業秘密に関する請求を棄却した。さらに、コメディー・クラブはイスカンダル氏にNDAに署名させず、従業員にもNDAや守秘義務条項に署名させず、機密文書を安全な場所に保管していなかった。基本的に、コメディクラブは情報を保護するための合理的な努力をしなかった。
