ED Pa - No showing that information constituted a trade secret.

Parexel International Corp. v. Feliciano (6/30/08) Parexel claimed that Feliciano improperly acquired or retained custody of its confidential proprietary information, including its customer lists, without Parexel's consent and in violation of Feliciano's employment agreement. Parexel further alleged that Feliciano disclosed its confidential information to IMM for his own benefit. Parexel pointed to similarities in the websites of Feliciano's two companies and Parexel's own website. In addition, Parexel pointed to a letter authored by Feliciano, indicating that he had obtained the records of millions of pharmaceutical companies. The court concluded that fact issues existed as to whether Feliciano improperly obtained business information from Parexel in furtherance of his own interests. However, there had been no showing that the business information at issue constituted a trade secret.
