PITTSBURGH (August 2023) - Ralph Fischer and Robert Wagner recently secured a successful summary judgment ruling on behalf of client, Tube-Mac Industries. The case involved allegations that a Tube-Mac contractor had stolen trade secrets and made false statements in emails promoting Tube-Mac products and services. Tube-Mac's competitor was seeking over $4.3 million in damages and over $1 million in attorney fees. However, discovery resulted in facts supporting Tube-Mac's defenses and the Court found that Tube-Mac had not misappropriated any trade secrets or violated any provision of the Lanham Act or Ohio's Deceptive Trade Practices Act in granting Tube-Mac's motion for summary judgment.
