   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1905
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Misappropriation of Trade Secrets. There was sufficient evidence for the jury to conclude that a series of PowerPoint presentations were trade secrets under the Missouri Uniform Trade Secrets Act; the award against defendant did not give plaintiff a second recovery for a single injury as its settlement with another defendant on a breach of contract claim redressed an independent injury; punitive damage award affirmed as there was evidence defendant acted with reckless disregard for plaintiff's rights and the amount of the award is not grossly excessive and a violation of due process.
