Pegasystems highlights expert support in Appian trade secrets appeal
PEGASYSTEMS INC
- AIPLA and professors Samuelson and Gergen filed opinions criticizing trial court jury instructions in Appian v. Pegasystems.
- AIPLA said jury instruction was inconsistent with Appian's burden to prove causation for damages.
- Samuelson and Gergen called the instruction 'deeply flawed' and a 'glaring error' that overlooked basic trade secrets law.
- Pegasystems views these expert filings as supporting its appeal arguments against the $2B+ verdict.
