Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit May 29, 1998, 97-2989, 97-3138 (Micro Data Base Systems, Inc., Cross-Appellee v. Dharma Systems, Inc.)

POSNER, Chief Judge.

We have before us an appeal and a cross-appeal in a diversity suit that presents issues of contract law, trade secrets law, and conflict of laws. The underlying dispute between the parties, two software companies that we’ll call MDBS and Dharma, arises out of a four-way deal.
