Stormy Weather — The Weather Channel is in the middle of a squall over claims it misappropriated trade secrets from a Shamong company that provided programming content.
A federal court suit asserts that the channel extracted information piecemeal from Events Media Network's proprietary database of concerts, sporting events and other leisure activities contrary to a licensing agreement that required treatment as a whole. The channel moved to dismiss on the ground that publicly available information can't be considered a trade secret.
