Law360 Reports on Multicut’s Trade Secret Case Settlement
12/07/2024Law360 has reported that Roller Bearing Co. of America Inc., a Connecticut-based roller bearing manufacturer, has settled its trade secret lawsuits against HSSK’s client Multicut North America Inc. and RTX. The cases, centered on allegations of misuse of proprietary information, have been resolved after prolonged negotiations.
Roller Bearing accused RTX of sharing designs for its rod end bearings and bushings used in U.S. military weapons systems with Multicut to secure lower-cost manufacturing. RTX has maintained that the designs were not proprietary but standard technology.
Both cases were resolved on Tuesday, December 3, 2024: the Multicut case in the District of Connecticut and the RTX case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
HSSK attorneys David Slossberg and Sara Sharp represented Multicut in this matter.
