United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ATS PRODUCTS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHAMPION FIBERGLASS, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-02403-SI 

ORDER DENYING CAPITAL RESIN

CORPORATION'S MOTION TO 

DISMISS THE FIFTH AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

Re: Dkt. No. 230

Now before the Court is defendant Capital Resin Corporation’s motion to dismiss the fifth 

amended complaint. Dkt. No. 230. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the Court finds this 

matter appropriate for resolution without oral argument and VACATES the hearing set for January 

15, 2016. Having carefully considered the papers submitted, the Court hereby DENIES Capital 

Resin Corporation’s motion to dismiss.

Capital Resin contends that ATS has failed to allege facts that would allow this Court to 

infer that Capital Resin knew or had reason to know that ATS's trade secrets were 

misappropriated. The Court has reviewed the new allegations contained in the fifth amended 

complaint, see Dkt. 215 ¶¶ 50, 55-57, 78(G), and finds that these allegations are sufficient to state

a claim for misappropriation because ATS alleges, inter alia, that by March 2015, Capital Resin 

gained actual knowledge that the alleged new resins were being manufactured in violation of 

ATS's trade secret rights. Accordingly, the Court DENIES defendant's motion to dismiss the fifth 

amended complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
