RAYTHEON COMPANY V. INDIGO SYSTEMS CORPORATION

Raytheon Company filed suit against Indigo Systems Corporation and FLIR Systems (collectively, Indigo) for trade secret misappropriation and patent infringement. The patent infringement claims were settled by the parties and dismissed. After a three week trial, a jury found that Indigo did not misappropriate Raytheon’s trade secrets relating to the production of infrared cameras. The district court then entered final judgment in favor of Indigo. Raytheon appeals from the district court’s denial of its motion for judgment as a matter of law and motion for new trial regarding two of the alleged trade secrets. Indigo cross-appeals from the district court’s decision denying its motion for attorney fees.  The CAFC affirms the judgment of no liability in favor of Indigo and the district court’s denial of attorney fees.
