Metaullics Systems Co. L.P. v. Molten Metal Equipment Innovations, Inc.

Terrence O’Donnell, Judge.

Metaullics Systems Company L.P. (“Metaullics”) appeals a jury verdict in favor of Molten Metal Equipment Innovations, Inc. (“MMEI”) and Paul Cooper, and denial by the trial court of injunctive relief and assignment of a patent.

Cooper worked for Metaullics until he left the company on June 1, 1990 and later formed MMEI.

Metaullics sued Cooper and MMEI, alleging Cooper had taken trade secrets concerning gas injection pumps used to mix and circulate molten metal and transfer pumps used to move metal, and also breached his employment contract with Metaullics.
