Mealey's (October 30, 2017, 3:03 PM EDT) -- SAN DIEGO — Dismissal of a company’s state and federal theft of trade secrets claims against its competitor in the life sciences analytics industry is not proper, a federal judge in New Jersey ruled Oct. 25, because the company has shown that the competitor has continued to misappropriate the company’s trade secrets after the enactment of the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and that its state law claim is not preempted by the statute of limitations (Quintiles IMS Inc., et al. v.
