Philadelphia employment lawyer, Sidney L. Gold, represented the plaintiff in a complex intellectual property lawsuit that involved former employees and the alleged theft of trade secrets. The case was hard-fought for 5 years before Judge Cynthia Rufe in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The litigation included several novel legal questions and resulted in several published opinions on key issues. It settled for $38 million and an agreement between the parties to jointly own the technology and information at the center of the dispute.
