   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3057
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Trade Secrets. The district court did not err in finding the 
   misappropriation of trade secrets action, together with plaintiff's 
   statements to its customers and suppliers, produced an objective, 
   reasonable apprehension of suit and the district court did not err in 
   concluding it had declaratory judgment action jurisdiction over the 
   counterclaim requesting declaratory judgments of noninfringement and 
   invalidity of a patent; the district court's decision was not a advisory 
   opinion; Chem Treat's motion for attorneys' fees is denied as the 
   counterclaim defendants' appeal was not frivolous.
