This lawsuit will have far reaching ramification.
What if a company buys an app just for competitive benchmarking and then copy the essence of the app's user onboarding or some other aspect of the app's unique features that is considered a trade secrete. Buying an app is like a paywall.
Or what if a company subscribes to a competitor's SAAS service just to copy their most valuable features.
If Angie's List wins this one, I think we should brace for many more to come.
