A recent ruling out of the Northern District of Georgia serves as a reminder that a denial of immediate injunctive relief doesn’t necessarily mean the end of a trade secrets case. In Stimlabs LLC v. Griffiths, decided on March 27, 2025, the court allowed a regenerative medicine company’s claims to proceed against its former Chief Scientific Officer under both the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and Georgia Trade Secrets Act (GTSA). While the court declined to issue a temporary restraining order, it found that Stimlabs had alleged enough detail to survive a motion to dismiss and move forward with discovery.
The decision underscores the importance of developing a detailed record early in the case and using the complaint itself as a strategic tool to frame the litigation going forward. More information can be found here [1] as the litigation progresses.
