HICKORY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CommScope, a global leader in network connectivity, scored a significant win in a lawsuit against Rosenberger for misappropriation of base station antenna ("BSA") trade secrets and other illegal conduct. The New Jersey Federal District Court ordered Rosenberger to stop using CommScope's trade secret BSA software, and Rosenberger has since withdrawn from the market BSAs that CommScope claims Rosenberger designed using CommScope's misappropriated software.

The order prohibits Rosenberger and its agents and subsidiaries from using CommScope's trade secret BSA software in any way, anywhere in the world. Both this order and the worldwide suspension on Rosenberger's sale of tainted BSAs will remain in effect at least until the case is resolved.

This victory for CommScope marks an important step in the protection of its BSA-related trade secrets, which extend beyond the misappropriated software. CommScope is pursuing a permanent injunction against Rosenberger, covering its claims that Rosenberger also stole CommScope's BSA hardware and business trade secrets, in addition to the stolen software.

In light of the significant preliminary relief CommScope has already obtained, the Court recently determined that broader injunctive relief would be decided after the trial.
