Trade secret plaintiffs can try to reopen discovery

Plaintiffs Cloudmark LLC and Proofpoint Inc. are seeking injunctive relief after a jury awarded them around $13.5 million in damages out of the $58 million they were seeking.

Plaintiffs in a trade secret copyright case can move to reopen discovery post verdict, a federal judge ruled.

Senior U.S. District Judge Maxine M.

Chesney gave plaintiffs a deadline of April 15 to submit their motion.
