Description
Summary:The Federal Circuit in Texas Instruments analyzed congressional legislative history to determine that Congress did not intend a preclusive effect only for patent-based cases. Because the Sany case was not a patent-based case, the district court found that ITC determinations regarding trade secret misappropriation could be entitled to preclusive effect. [...]the same underlying standards apply to both Wisconsin trade secret law and federal trade secret law. [...]the court concluded that each factor was met in precluding Sany from relitigating the allegations of trade secret misappropriation in district court and granted partial summary judgment for Manitowoc. [...]Sany could not have raised these counterclaims in the ITC as they would have been subjected to mandatory removal under 19 U.S.C. 1337(c).
