[Unfair Competition Prevention Act / Trade secrets]
Osaka District Court, Case No. 2025 (Wa) 5424
(Presiding Judge Matsuami)
"Details of users' insurance information, etc. (part of the master maintenance information), and Home-Visit Nursing Record I" constitute trade secrets.
"Lists of staff members and medical institutions, etc., generic consent form templates, manuals, etc." do not constitute trade secrets (insufficient proof).
Acquisition of the Home-Visit Nursing Record II information at issue is established. However, disclosure to defendant A cannot be found as a fact, because the only evidence was an email prepared by the attorney acting as counsel, and there had been no opportunity to impeach it.
The group resignation and handover of users occurred against the background of the consent of the plaintiff's representative and dissatisfaction with the workplace environment, and are not recognized as unlawful solicitation of employees or disloyal conduct.
⇒ No tort established.
