After a seven-day jury trial presided over by Judge Loretta A. Preska in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Kramer Levin won a multimillion-dollar jury victory for TydenBrooks SPG in its long-standing lawsuit against Cambridge Security Seals. Tyden alleged that Cambridge had stolen trade secrets relating to unique and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes that it had developed over decades to manufacture plastic indicative seals. Tyden alleged that Cambridge hired away almost all of Tyden’s engineering staff with the express purpose of stealing our client’s manufacturing processes and competing with it in the market. Cambridge asserted antitrust counterclaims based on its claim that Tyden brought a sham litigation to prohibit Cambridge from competing in the marketplace. During pretrial motions, Tyden won an order that bifurcated Cambridge’s antitrust counterclaims against Tyden, with those claims to be tried after Tyden’s trade secret claims and only if Cambridge prevailed at trial. After Tyden presented its case to the jury, the court granted our client a directed verdict on Cambridge’s counterclaims. The jury, after deciding that Cambridge engaged in unfair competition and unjustly benefited from its actions, awarded millions of dollars to our client.
