| 485 | 65 | I. Information not a trade secret owned by Pohl | Three sub-arguments: (a) Attorney-client contracts belong to clients, not lawyer — Pohl as agent cannot claim trade secret in principal's property (In re George, In re McCann); (b) No independent economic value — no competitive advantage shown, Pohl can still use information, only interest was hiding unlawfully solicited identities (Fmc Techs., ERI Consulting); (c) No reasonable secrecy measures — contracts not secret or privileged as matter of law, shared freely with Precision and Favre, produced in discovery without protective order, Master List available on PACER for six years (Landry v. Burge, Borden v. Valdez, multiple cases on waiver of secrecy). |
