BondPro Corp. v. Siemens Power Generation, Inc. (2006) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Summary

BondPro and Siemens are in a legal dispute over a trade secret related to a manufacturing process for slot cells in electrical generators. Siemens filed a patent application for a similar but different process without specifying the use of an autoclave for the final step, but the Patent Office rejected it. Siemens disclosed BondPro's process in their patent application, which means that anyone can now use the process without liability, but Siemens would be liable to BondPro for revealing their trade secret to the world. BondPro is seeking injunctive relief to prevent Siemens from using their trade secret process, which they argue holds market value even if not being utilized. However, BondPro failed to provide satisfactory evidence of its market value, and damages cannot be awarded. It is crucial to determine if Siemens breached any contractual obligation they had with BondPro by revealing the process as confidentiality agreements exclude generally known information. The validity of BondPro's trade secret claim depends on the specific process being claimed, and if it is already known to the trade, Siemens' alleged fraud on the Patent Office would not be a violation of BondPro's rights.
