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.
