Trade secret plaintiffs can try to reopen discovery
Plaintiffs Cloudmark LLC and Proofpoint Inc. are seeking injunctive relief after a jury awarded them around $13.5 million in damages out of the $58 million they were seeking.
Plaintiffs in a trade secret copyright case can move to reopen discovery post verdict, a federal judge ruled.
Senior U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney said during the case management conference Friday, “I’m not really inclined to open up discovery … But you might convince me,” telling plaintiffs they would need strong arguments to convince her. Chesney gave plaintiffs a deadline of April 15 to submit their motion.
