(United States Federal Circuit) - In a suit involving claims of patent infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets,arising from an award of a military contract to its competitor to supply infrared cameras, district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants is reversed, or as it was for the jury and not for the district court to determine when plaintiff should have first discovered the facts supporting its cause of action. Here,the district court erred by resolving genuine factual disputes in favor of the defendant, the moving party, and in concluding that the statute of limitations barred plaintiff's claim.
