1Opinion of the Court
BETTY B. FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
In this diversity action, plaintiffs claim that defendants misappropriated then-trade secrets in the design elements of a boot. Following a ten-day trial, a jury returned several verdicts against one of the defendants, Deckers Outdoor Corporation (“Deckers”), and awarded almost $2 million in compensatory damages. Deck-ers appeals, asserting that many of the jury’s verdicts were unsupported by the evidence and that the verdict form was flawed. Plaintiffs cross-appeal, faulting the district court’s refusal to award exemplary damages or attorney’s fees.
