A Swedish company manufacturing and supplying railway systems and
services brought trade secret misappropriation action against American company,
with which it had had a licensing agreement, seeking to preliminarily enjoin
American company from undertaking certain commercial activities.

Holdings: The District Court, Jed S. Rakoff, J., held that:

(1) manufacturing drawing relating to brake unit product constituted trade
secrets;

(2) Swedish company had substantial likelihood of success on merits of trade
secret misappropriation claim; but

(3) Swedish company failed to make a sufficient showing of irreparable

harm required to support injunction.

Motion granted in part and denied in part.
