Boston – September 17, 2024 – Cooley successfully secured a dismissal for Mango Technologies, the market leader in the $80 billion market for productivity software, in a trade secret litigation in which Nifty Technologies alleged several claims, including trade secret theft and unfair competition arising from a potential acquisition of another productivity software company.
The US District Court for the Southern District of California embraced the core defense that Nifty had not identified any trade secrets or any unfair competition, and dismissed those claims accordingly. The court further dismissed allegations that there had been any breach of the covenant of fair dealing in Mango Technologies’ negotiations.
The Cooley intellectual property (IP) litigation team representing Mango Technologies included Adam Gershenson, Summer Wynn, Reuben Chen, Lowell Mead, Hanna Evensen, and Andy Zachrich.
The case is Nifty Technologies, Inc. v. Mango Technologies, Inc. (case no.: 24-CV-194).
