QUANTUM CHEMICAL CORP. V. THE M.W. KELLOGG COMPANY


We were counsel for Defendant/Counterclaimant The M.W. Kellogg Company in a suit in which Kellogg was sued for $260 million in actual damages plus $400 million in exemplary damages for alleged defective plant and furnace designs.  Kellogg counterclaimed for misappropriation of Kellogg’s trade secrets.  A no-fraud and zero damages verdict resulted for Plaintiff Quantum.  In contrast, we obtained an $11.5 million verdict for Kellogg on its misappropriation counterclaim.  The case settled favorably on the counterclaim.
