449	59	V. The judgment should not include any damages against Kassab because the jury's finding of no wrongdoing by Precision destroys the misappropriation claim against Kassab	Pohl alleged Precision illegally misappropriated trade secrets and Kassab subsequently committed indirect misappropriation by acquiring from Precision. Pohl originally sued Precision but non-suited; Precision was designated as a responsible third party. The jury found Precision did NOT misappropriate (Q2(a)(3) and Q2(b)(3)) and assigned 0% fault (Q4). Indirect misappropriation is 'daisy-chain' liability requiring the first person to have committed direct misappropriation (AssuredPartners). TUTSA § 134A.002(3)(B)(ii)(a) requires knowing acquisition from someone who used improper means. Precision was defined in the charge to include Walker, Seymour, and Ladner (before May 12, 2015) and Favre (after May 12, 2015). Precision's exoneration breaks the chain.
