From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

In 2008, plaintiff ams-OSRAM USA Inc. ( formerly named Texas Advanced Optoelectronic Solutions, Inc. and hereafter called “TAOS”) sued Renesas Electronics Amer- ica, Inc. (formerly named Intersil Corporation and hereaf- ter called “Intersil”) in a federal district court in Texas . TAOS asserted patent infringement, but that claim is no longer at issue. TAOS also asserted state-law claims, of which two remain in the case : misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of a confidentiality agreement.
