Wanke, Industrial Commercial and Residential, WP Solutions Suit Ruled on.

 A California appeals court on Thursday found in a trade secrets dispute that a lower court erred in ruling that a stipulated injunction barring former Wanke Industrial Commercial Residential Inc. employees from soliciting some of the waterproofing system-installing company's customers was invalid and couldn't be enforced.

Wanke in 2008 brought a trade secrets suit against former employees Scott Keck and Jacob Bozarth after they started a rival waterproofing business. The parties later entered a settlement in 2009, and the former employees agreed to a stipulated injunction, which prohibited them from soliciting Con Am Management Corp., AV Builders: Saratoga West and anyone else on Wanke's customer list.

The case is Wanke Industrial Commercial Residential Inc. v. Superior Court of San Diego County, case number D058825, and Wanke Industrial Commercial Residential Inc. v. Scott Keck et al., case number D058669, in the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division One.
