Eight-day bench trial. CVN covered earlier pre-trial hearings in this litigation.

In this Energy Employment litigation proceeding, plaintiff W.L. Gore & Associates alleged Darrell Long of violating the two covenants which Mr. Long entered while being employed at W.L.

The plaintiff was represented by attorneys Charles Knapp, Randall Kahnke, Martin Lessner and Joel Schroeder. The defendant in this case, GE Energy and other defendants were represented by attorneys R. Paul Yetter, Wynn McClosky, Samuel Hirzel and Kenneth Nachbar.

Outcome
