Mealey's ( June 3, 2020, 2:57 PM EDT) -- CHICAGO — Opining that although a software developer has been given numerous opportunities to sufficiently identify trade secrets a former business partner is alleged to have misappropriated when it developed its own rebate portal processing system using the developer’s trade secrets, a federal judge in Illinois on May 31 held that the developer has failed to do so (NEXT Payment Solutions Inc. v. CLEAResult Consulting Inc. , No. 17-8829, N. D. Ill. , 2020 U. S. Dist. LEXIS 94764). . . .
