Idx Systems Corporation v. Epic Systems Corporation, University of Wisconsin Medical Foundation, Mitchell Quade, and Michael Rosencrance

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the plaintiff’s trade secret claim concerning “all information in or about its software” was “both too vague and too inclusive”
• holding that a 43-page doc- ument describing a software package was not sufficiently specific
• holding that “the appearance of data entry screens” are not trade secrets
• noting that the algorithms that a software program uses to perform functions may be trade secrets
• finding that plaintiff, which argued that “all information in or about its software” is a trade secret, failed to identify its trade secrets
• observing that, if plaintiff fails to separate “trade secrets from the other information that goes into any software package,” the court “cannot do its job” at summary judgment
