Relco LLC of Willmar, Minnesota, sued former employees in May 2011, alleging they took confidential information to their new jobs at Custom Fabricating & Repair Inc. of Marshfield, Wisconsin, and violated terms of their employment agreement. As a reminder that confidential information and trade secrets are not synonymous, the Minnesota Court of Appeals held that the Uniform Trade Secrets Act does not necessarily apply to all confidential information. As a result, however, it is not necessary information be a trade secret to be protected, since a trial court may issue an injunction against a party who has, in violation of an explicit agreement or a common law duty, wrongfully used confidential information or trade secrets obtained from his employer.
