How Judge Vaughan decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A trade-secret injunction requires identification of the protected information with reasonable particularity.
“Plaintiff must identify trade secrets with ‘reasonable particularity’ and may not use ‘broad categories of information.’”
Procedural preferences
A filing generally should request one form of relief unless it seeks alternatives under the same governing provision.
“A motion filed with the Court must request only one form of relief unless the request seeks alternative forms of relief under the same provision of the Bankruptcy Code or Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.”
Cautions
Repeatedly inadequate discovery compliance can support both evidentiary sanctions and a fee award.
“Defendants throughout have exhibited a lack of appreciation for the discovery process.”
