RTX Corp. Faces 2024 Trade Secrets Trial After Failed Dismissal Attempt

A trial date has now been set for April 16, 2024, in the case concerning RTX Corp., a defense contractor firm involved in a trade secrets suit. This news comes as part of a recent announcement made by a Massachusetts federal judge. The case against RTX Corp. alleges the illicit disclosure of a proprietary bearing design, said to be the confidential intellectual property of an unnamed Connecticut company.

The judge’s announcement followed a failed attempt by RTX Corp., two weeks prior, to call an end to the proceedings. The defence firm’s efforts were unsuccessful, leading to the setting of the impending trial date. As the case heads to court, further proceedings will undoubtedly reveal additional details on the substance of the trade secret allegations.
