弗吉尼亚最高法院下令对阿比安20亿美元的Pegasystems贸易秘密诉讼案进行新审判, The Virginia Supreme Court has ordered a new trial in Appian’s $2 billion trade secret lawsuit against Pegasystems, rejecting Pega’s attempt to dismiss the case. 法院维持了证据,表明Pega据称雇用了一名前雇员Youyong Zou作为“间谍”窃取Appian的机密软件数据,利用这些数据改进产品,并隐瞒其身份。 The court upheld evidence showing Pega allegedly hired a former employee, Youyong Zou, as a "spy" to steal Appian’s confidential software data, used it to improve its products, and concealed his identity. 裁决还引用了Pega在Zou失去访问权和内部通信称他为“Appian间谍 ” ( Appian spy)之后访问Appian系统的努力。 虽然最初的20.4亿美元判决被推翻,但法院发现在如何适用举证责任和如何评估获取商业秘密方面有错误。 The ruling also cited Pega’s efforts to access Appian’s systems after Zou lost access and internal communications referring to him as an “Appian spy.” While the original $2.04 billion verdict was overturned, the court found errors in how the burden of proof was applied and how access to trade secrets was assessed. Appian计划再次向新的陪审团陈述案情,预计双方将提出上诉。 Appian plans to present its case again before a new jury, with both sides expected to appeal.
