Pittsburgh Logistics System, Inc. v. Wheeling-Nisshin, Inc.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In 2002 Pittsburgh Logistics Systems, Inc. (Pittsburgh Logistics) submitted a proposal to Wheeling-Nisshin, Inc. (Wheeling-Nisshin) to manage WheelingNisshin’s product transportation logistics. Wheeling-Nisshin rejected the proposal, and Pittsburgh Logistics claims that Wheeling-Nisshin misappropriated trade secrets and proprietary information contained in the proposal. Pittsburgh-Logistics sued Wheeling-Nisshin, contending among other things that Wheeling-Nisshin violated the West Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act, W. Va.Code Ann. §§ 47-22-1 to 10. The district court granted summary judgment to Wheeling-Nisshin, holding that Pittsburgh Logistic’s proposal did not contain any information that was a trade secret under the West Virginia Act. Pittsburgh Logistics appeals. After considering the briefs, the joint appendix, and the arguments of counsel, we find no error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Pittsburgh Logistics Systems, Inc. v. Wheeling-Nisshin, Inc., civ. action no. 5:04CV85 (N.D.W.Va. Nov. 4, 2004).
