Caught with their Hands in the Fig
Jar - Pirating Companies Pay Big for a Secret Recipe in the First Jury Verdict Under the DTSA
|
|
On February 27, 2017, a federal jury in Easton Pennsylvania returned the first verdict in the country under the Defend Trade Secrets Act ("DTSA") . The case, Dalmatia Import Group, Inc. v. Foodmatch, Inc., et al. dealt with Plaintiff Maia Magee's secret recipe for the popular Dalmatia fig jam. According to the evidence presented, at some point in the past Dalmatia decided to replace its distributor, FoodMatch Inc., and supplier, Lancaster Fine Foods Inc. Soon thereafter, however, Foodmatch and Lancaster went into the fig-jam-making business for themselves and took with them Dalamtia's secret recipe. According to reports, the jury found that Foodmatch and Lancaster willfully misappropriated Dalmatia's trade secrets, as well as committed trademark infringement and counterfeiting, and awarded treble damages that will bring the judgment to $5.2 million.
The bottom line from the Dalamatia case is that the DTSA may prove to be a potent tool in your business's arsenal to protect trade secrets and confidential business information, including recipes and proprietary product formulations. To read more about the DTSA and why businesses should revise their contracts to get the full benefits of the DTSA, read our previous advisory here.

There's a saying commonly used at one of the schools The Joseph Fund supports and it's "We can't teach you if you're not in a seat." Step one to becoming a good networker is to make attending CCSNJ networking events your monthly priority. Only you know how many, but setting out to be as active as possible counts.
