INSULET CORPORATION, Plaintiff, v. EOFLOW CO., LTD.; EOFLOW, INC.; FLEX, LTD.; FLEXTRONICS CORPORATION; FLEXTRONICS MEDICAL SALES AND MARKETING, LTD.; LUIS J. MALAVE; STEVEN DIIANNI; and IAN G. WELSFORD, Defendants.
ORDER ON DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO BAR LANE DESBOROUGH FROM RECEIVING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
F. Dennis Saylor IV, Chief Judge.
Defendants' Motion to Bar Lane Desborough from Receiving Confidential Information (ECF No. 374) is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
Lane Desborough has been engaged as an expert witness by plaintiff Insulet. Defendants object to the sharing of any of their confidential information with Desborough on the ground that he performs consulting work for Torramics, which is a competitor. At this time, Desborough has not yet received access to any confidential information in this case.
The Court is advised that Desborough is willing to end his consultancy with Torramics before accessing any such information. Under the circumstances, the Court finds that Desborough will be permitted to access information in this case, provided the following conditions are satisfied:
1. that he terminate his consulting relationship with Torramics before gaining access to any confidential information of defendants;
2. that he execute an appropriate non-disclosure agreement; and
3. that he not perform further work for Torramics while this litigation is pending, or for one year after its conclusion, a. without providing 30 days' notice in writing to EOFlow and
b. upon further order of this Court.
So Ordered.
