Mealey's ( July 22, 2020, 1:58 PM EDT) -- CHICAGO — A federal judge in Illinois on July 20 ruled that a producer of home decor products' state law trade secret misappropriation claim against a former business partner and an industry competitor is not time-barred because the plaintiff has sufficiently shown that its claim did not start accruing until 2018 (Chartwell Studio Inc. v. Team Impressions Inc., et al., No. 19-6944, N.D. Ill., 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126748)....
