Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. v. DiMartinis

We are not persuaded by any of Dorel’s responses to this straightforward conclusion. Dorel argues that its trade secrets are entitled to protection so long as they retain secrecy and competitive value, and that there is no evidence that the trade secrets are now public. But Dorel itself limited the term of its injunction to that six month period, representing to the court that it expected the information to be released to the public when the relevant products went on the market in April 2007. There is no evidence in this record to the contrary and we cannot engage in additional fact-finding at this stage of the proceedings. If, contrary to Dorel’s expectations and representations, the information was not released to the public by April 20, 2007, that is an issue to raise in the ongoing action in the district court, not in the court of appeals.
