USA (“FTUSA”) is an Oregon business, who manufactured synthetic grass turf, and was a 5% minority owner of Field Turf Builders, LLC (“FTB”), who leased to FTUSA the use of their Wilsonville, OR, facility along with some equipment and business records. FTUSA and FTB were entertaining the idea of a merger, but FTUSA became nervous after discovering that the IRS had imposed a lien against FTB for unpaid taxes. Believing that the leased facility might be seized by the IRS, FTUSA removed all of FTB’s equipment and business records from the facility. FTUSA eventually returned some of FTB’s files, but nothing else. Amongst other claims, FTB filed a trade secret claim against FTUSA for misappropriation of FTB’s customer lists, contacts, and other proprietary information.
