State: NC Plaintiff is in: TX
The plaintiff is the end user of a piece of industrial equipment from company X.
Company X contacts the plaintiff about developing a case study for a trade publication about the equipment.
The plaintiff agrees to assist with the article to be published. Photos of the equipment were taken and sent to company X.
The plaintiff signs a consent form after reviewing the article and have a third party (manufacturer rep) take the photos.
1.5 years after the article is published and the case study was posted to company X website...the plaintiff comes to the company X noting that an image on the website contains a plaintiff trade secret. (Note: No non-disclosure agreement was signed and the photos were not marked with any "trade secret" insignia)
Does the plaintiff have proper discourse to bring a law suit to:
1. company X?
2. manufacturer rep who took the photos?
3. company X advertising/PR agency?
Thanks
