美国陪审团裁定 Joby 违反 NDA 与商业机密协议
Jury finds against Joby in Aerosonic claim of NDA breach case
打开原文美国佛罗里达州坦帕市联邦陪审团裁定 Joby 违反与 Aerosonic 的保密协议并故意使用商业机密。陪审团判决 Aerosonic 获赔约 1.16 亿美元，其中 6860 万美元为 NDA 违约赔偿，2990 万美元为商业机密侵权赔偿，1830 万美元为惩罚性赔偿。
A US federal jury in Tampa, Florida, has found that Joby Aviation breached a mutual nondisclosure agreement (NDA) and willfully misappropriated trade secrets. The jury awarded Aerosonic—which supplied air data probes to Joby in 2022 following the signing of an NDA—about USD116 million. Aerosonic alleged that Joby used its trade secrets and proprietary information to design and build its own probes following the sale.
The jury awarded Aerosonic USD68.6 million for breach of the NDA, USD29.9 million for misappropriation of trade secrets, and USD18.3 million in exemplary damages.
This is unlikely to be the end of the matter, however.
“We strongly disagree with the jury’s verdict, which we believe is unsupported by the evidence and inconsistent with the law,” according to a Joby spokesperson. “Joby independently developed its air data system through years of its own engineering and manufacturing work, and we stand firmly behind the integrity of that work and our conduct. We take the protection of intellectual property, both our own and that of others, extremely seriously. The jury’s verdict is not a final judgment. We have asked the Court to overturn the verdict and intend to vigorously pursue all available post-trial and appellate remedies.””
