Cisco Moves to Dismiss Trade Secrets Appeal vs. Former Hardware Architect
Cisco seeks to dismiss with prejudice Wilson Chung from its trade secrets misappropriation appeal against Poly, said its motion Wednesday (docket 23-15590) in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The parties agreed to bear their own fees and costs, said the motion. Cisco had alleged Chung, its former hardware and software architect, improperly kept “substantial Cisco confidential information” for the Cisco 730 headset and the Webex Desk Pro when he left Cisco in 2019 to join Poly, then disclosed those trade secrets to other Poly employees (see 2304220002). Cisco’s appeal against Poly remains pending.
