How courts have described this case

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

  • explaining that University Computing and Georgia-Pacific identified “overlapping” factors
  • “[I]t is surely important when setting a reasonable royalty award to account for the scope of the license the defendant assumed for himself . . . . [T]he nature of the defendant’s ‘use’ of the trade secret matters a great deal in the reasonable royalty analysis.”
  • “[T]he line between use and disclosure is hardly as crisp as [the defendant] suggests. Can’t disclosing a trade secret for a particular end or purpose (be it retribution or profit or otherwise) be a way of putting it to use, at least in a broad sense of the word?”
