Update on West Virginia Trade Secrets Case

More details from the West Virginia Record on a case reported here last week.

According to the Record, part of defendant's job duties involved preparing job design documents, job bid documents and other documents containing "proprietary and commercially sensitive information and trade secrets."

The complaint alleges that the information in the documents is valuable to competitors because it reveals Prime's pricing and job design, as well as bidding information. Moreover, "[t]hat information could not easily be acquired or duplicated by others, but for misappropriation," and "Prime has expended considerable effort and money in developing its pricing, job designs and job bids."
