Ohio Supreme Court Urged to Nullify $1 Million Fee in High-Stakes Trade Secrets Dispute

An industrial lighting company has recently appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court to nullify a $1 million attorney fee awarded to a competitor. This follows an earlier appeal in a trade secrets dispute between the two companies. The company argues that awarding the fee was not proper following the entry of a final judgment in the case. The fee was initially awarded to the competitor as compensation for their previous appeal in what has emerged as a contentious trade secrets disagreement. This case comes as a part of a greater trend toward more high-stakes litigation in the field of intellectual property. More details can be found in the full report on this case.
