flexible electric motor manufacturer, has won another major battle in its ongoing

litigation with its former engineering partner Burgi Engineers, LLC ("Burgi").

Burgi had previously refused to return thirteen years’ worth of confidential files,

which Reuland values in excess of $6 million, that Burgi had obtained under a non-

disclosure/proprietary rights agreement with Reuland.

On April 24, 2015, United States District Court Judge S. James Otero issued

a permanent injunction against Burgi. Public court papers reveal that Burgi’s

principal Robert Burgi claimed he “was not obligated to return anything” and that

Burgi used confidential Reuland files in connection with motor designs to compete

directly against Reuland. The Court found that Burgi’s actions constitute breach of

contract. The Court issued an immediate permanent injunction. The Court ruled

that Burgi “is permanently enjoined from possessing, copying and using” this

confidential information “for any purpose.” The injunction covers a massive

volume of information relating to all of the 977 motor-specific projects Burgi

worked on while doing business with Reuland over a thirteen year period.

Noel C. Reuland, Owner and President of Reuland Electric Co., commented:

“The Court’s issuance of an immediate permanent injunction against Burgi is a

resounding victory for Reuland. Reuland aggressively protects its intellectual

property rights and will take strong action to prevent unauthorized or improper use

of its high quality motor designs and other intellectual property.”

A bench trial is currently scheduled for early June 2015 to assess monetary

damages against Burgi.

Reuland is represented by Eric N. Lindquist of Law Offices of Eric Nelson
