Jury Verdict: Vax-D Medical Technologies LLC v. Allied Health Management LTD, et al

Plaintiff Vax-D Medical Technologies, LLC, and Allied Health Management Ltd. entered into a confidentiality agreement regarding Vax-D therapeutic tables. The parties agreed that Allied would keep confidential certain trade secrets and information related to the tables, which were used for spinal decompression treatments. Vax-D sued Allied Health, operating as Gilbertson Chiropractic Health Center, also known as Back Pain Institute; AMT Manufacturing Inc., also known as W.J. Deacon Industries Ltd., operating as D&D Industries, operating as Power Products; and Daniel Boudreau and Texas Spine Medical Center for patent infringement and breach of contract. Vax-D also sued William Deacon and Monohan Chiropractic Medical Clinic P.A. for patent infringement, claiming that the defendants misused the plaintiff's trademark and service mark. Vax-D also claimed that the defendants used the information unlawfully obtained by Allied to manufacture or have manufactured a product similar to the therapeutic tables manufactured by Vax-D. The case came before the court on remand following a May 4, 2006, dismissal of the case against Boudreau, doing business as Texas Spine Medical Center. The remaining defendants had previously entered into confidential settlement agreements with Vax-D, thus having claims against them dismissed. Boudreau did not appear at a hearing following the reversal and remand of the case's dismissal. Vax-D moved for a default judgment.
