How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the statute of limitations may be triggered even if misappropriation is “relatively inconsequential” and would not, by itself, justify the cost of suit
• holding that “the statute of limitations began running at the same time with respect to all the claims arising out of misappropriation of any and all of the alleged trade secrets or confidential information”, including breach of contract and unfair competition
• rejecting the argument that a cause of action cannot accrue for statute of limitation purposes until plaintiff has a winning claim as fundamentally wrong as a matter of law for it would prohibit defendants from using the statute for protection
