LinkCo, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd.
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
232 F. Supp. 2d 182 (2002)

- Written by Rich Walter, JD
Facts
Shortly after LinkCo, Inc. (plaintiff) abandoned its project to develop an Internet corporate-research application, a key LinkCo officer quit and went to work for LinkCo’s competitor, Fujitsu Ltd. (defendant). Fourteen months later, Fujitsu unveiled its own project to develop a corporate-research application. Due to obvious similarities between the two projects, LinkCo smelled foul play and sued Fujitsu for trade-secret misappropriation. At trial and before the close of evidence, the federal district court weighed the parties’ competing motions for jury instructions on the appropriate measure of any damages awarded in the case.
