The state Superior Court has vacated a $1.4 million verdict against a manufacturer of cryogenic research machines because it was unclear whether the trial court incorrectly doubled the damages in the case.
A three-judge panel ruled March 21 in Advanced Research Systems v. ColdEdge Technologies that the judgment against employees of ColdEdge—sued for violating the Pennsylvania Uniform Trade Secrets Act in connection with using confidential materials belonging to the plaintiff—be sent back to the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas for reconsideration.
