Focus Column - Intellectual Property - By Benjamin D. Scheibe - Consider the following scenario: The defendant, who has been privy to the plaintiff's trade secret, designs and manufactures a product that competes with the plaintiff's product. The plaintiff cries foul, but the defendant claims that it either "reverse-engineered" the plaintiff's product or developed the information necessary to produce its competing product from publicly available sources.
