Missouri Trade Secret Case Headed for Trial
The Eastern District of Missouri held that numerous issues of fact exist in the trade secret misappropriation case Insituform Technologies, Inc. v. Reynolds, Inc., 2007 WL 1198889 (E.D. Mo. 4/19/07).
The dispute began when Robert Vance left Insituform to join Reynolds, Inc. Insituform filed suit against Vance and Reynolds for trade secret misappropriation and related torts. Both parties moved for summary judgment. The court sharply criticized these motions given the numerous factual disputes and denied both motions.
