Executive Summary
A federal district court issued a case management order in Arcturus's trade secret litigation against AbbVie/Capstan, resolving disputes over the protective order and privilege logs. The court allowed Arcturus's Chief Legal Officer to access confidential materials but denied CEO Joseph Payne access to 'CONFIDENTIAL' information, a routine procedural ruling with no financial impact.
