(October 4, 2018, 3:31 PM EDT) -- TAMPA, Fla. — A federal judge in Florida on Oct. 3 ruled that a federal magistrate judge properly determined that a technology company’s state trade secret misappropriation claim is insufficient, in part, because four of the trade secrets the company alleges its competitor misappropriated were publicly disclosed and, thus, cannot form the basis of a state trade secret misappropriation claim (Financial Information Technologies Inc. v. iControl Systems USA LLC, No. 17-190, M.D. Fla., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 170808)....
