INSULET CORP · 2026-11-04 · Importance 41 · Surprise 60

Insulet’s trade-secret case against EOFlow concerned alleged misappropriation of proprietary Omnipod design and manufacturing information; the district court had entered a permanent injunction and reduced the damages award to $59.4 million. On May 28, 2026, the Federal Circuit reversed the judgment, finding Insulet’s claims barred by the Defend Trade Secrets Act’s three-year statute of limitations. The appeals court extended a partial stay of the injunction for conduct in the Republic of Korea, the European Union, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates while Insulet sought further review. The Federal Circuit denied Insulet’s rehearing petition on October 19, 2026, and the reversal had no impact on the company’s financial statements because the damages had not previously been recorded.
