In 2009 Competition Economics client Skycam, LLC brought suit against Actioncam and Patrick J. Bennett with allegations including trade secret misappropriation and violation of the Oklahoma Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
On September 27, 2012, Skycam was awarded injunctive relief and an injunctive royalty, citing the reasonable royalty rate opinion of Competition Economics Director Brett Reed.
This ruling follows a jury trial from September 2011, in which Skycam was awarded total damages of $594,000 on claims of breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unfair competition, in addition to punitive damages against Actioncam.
