NC Court of Appeals Decision on Pleading Standards in Trade Secrets Case

It's nice (and easy) to be able to link to one of our sister blogs, the North Carolina Appellate Blog, concerning a case from earlier this week from the North Carolina Court of Appeals.

In Washburn v. Yadkin Valley Bank & Trust, the court affirmed dismissal of a trade secrets claim on the grounds that the identity of the trade secrets and the manner of the alleged misappropriation were pleaded with insufficient particularity.

The case could prove very useful in fighting off vague claims in North Carolina state and federal courts.
