Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Soarus L.L.C., v. Bolson Materials International Corp., et al.
Case No.: 18-1144
Officials: BAUER, HAMILTON, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Nondisclosure Agreement – Breach of Contract – Patent Application
This appeal turns on the construction under Illinois law of provisions in a nondisclosure agreement. The dispute arises out of Bolson Materials International Corporation’s inclusion in a patent application of particular information Soarus, L.L.C. believed was protected from disclosure by the parties’ agreement. The district court, exercising diversity jurisdiction, determined that the agreement’s plain language controlled and revealed no breach of contract by Bolson. We agree and affirm.
