Is a Website a Trade Secret?
A disgruntled former website designer leaves an internet-based company. A short time later he starts a rival company whose website looks strikingly similar to the original company's website. The original company sues. Copyright or trademark, right? Nope. They sue under a trade secret theory. Result: Appeals court throws the preliminary injunction out, since one of the owners testified that "'[w]e chose to show all our cards to our competition.' He further testified that information was 'left out for the general public to see.'" InternetCases.com has the scoop: Web Content and Domain Names Denied Trade Secret Status.
