What You Need to Know

  • Amazon was denied relief on its attempt to protect alleged confidential trade secrets of its insurance policies.
  • Amazon claims there is a trend of attorneys targeting specific companies and using expansive discovery to profit beyond the case at issue.
  • Amazon sought to enforce a protect order signed by one judge and circumvented by another judge.

Attorneys representing Amazon.com Inc. in an appeal—seeking enforcement of a protective order on confidential and alleged insurance policy trade secrets—allege trial courts favor plaintiff lawyers.

And they suggest opposing counsel have made a cottage industry of using overly broad discovery to gather information for other suits against the tech and retail giant.
