Mealey's (March 13, 2020, 12:40 PM EDT) -- CINCINNATI — A Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on Feb. 25 dismissed an appeal in a trade secret misappropriation lawsuit filed by a third-party logistics company against a former employee and industry competitor, ruling that the expiration of a six-month noncompete restriction that was part of a preliminary injunction has ended, making any attempt at relief as to that part of the injunction order impossible (Radiant Global Logistics Inc. v. Charles Furstenau Jr., et al., No. 19-1297, 6th Cir., 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 5666)....
