A Texas district court wrongly sealed exhibits post-trial in a $740 million trade secret case, despite those exhibits being pre-admitted with the court and discussed and displayed at trial. That’s what the Texas Fourth Court of Appeals ruled on July 10 in a high-profile trade secret dispute between HouseCanary Inc. and Amrock (formerly Title Source Inc.).

This ruling, which was the first to come from a court other than the district court granting the initial verdict, introduces new questions about the veracity of HouseCanary’s trade secret claims given the company’s own legal arguments.
