Attorneys representing a Boston staffing agency that was ordered to pay a competitor firm more than $5 million for allegedly misappropriating trade secrets said they intend to file a motion for judgment as a matter of law within the next few weeks, arguing that a jury never identified what information was stolen in the first place.
