Pegasystems Decries Appian’s ‘Harassment’ Ahead of New Trial

World IP Review has turned to Jeff Farrow for comment on the high-stakes legal battle between Pegasystems and Appian over alleged trade secret misappropriation—where a $2 billion verdict was recently overturned. In an article published last week, Jeff highlighted the critical importance of courts adhering to legal standards when assessing damages. In reference to a recent court filing in the Pegasystems case, he emphasized that, regardless of the strength of a misappropriation claim, the harm must be directly tied to that misappropriation.
