Coke Trade Secrets Case
The big news in the commercial litigation world is the Coke trade secrets case. (Link goes to an Associated Press article in The Seattle Times). According to the news reports, one of the defendant's lawyers harkened the case to "something out of a spy novel." On the other hand, the same attorney, who represents a secretary at Coke's headquarters in Atlanta, was quoted as questioning how secret the allegedly stolen product was, and the extent of the measures that Coke undertook to keep it secretive. Of course, the burden is on Coke to prove that the allegedly stolen product was a trade secret and that Coke did take appropriate measures to protect it.
