QUESTION 4 – 6 Pоints Gentle Pillоws LLC (а lоcаl mаnufacturer of pillows) has been seeking a new location for its retail shop. Gentle Pillows began negotiations with a mattress store, Associated Mattress Giant (a regional mattress retail outlet), about Gentle purchasing a storefront located on the east side of Madison to operate its pillow store out of. Gentle Pillows has decided to make an offer to purchase the retail location from Associated. On February 1 Gentle Pillows sent the following signed letter to Associated Mattress: “We hereby offer you $1,500,000.00 for your Madison Property. This offer is firm and we will keep it open for thirty (30) days. Please sign below to indicate your agreement to these terms.” Associated Mattress received this offer on February 2. On February 10 Gentle Pillows changed its mind because of a forecast that indicated its business would lose revenue over the next year. On February 10 Gentle Pillows sent the following signed, communication to Associated Mattress, which communication was received by Associated Mattress on February 11: “We have decided not to buy your retail location in Madison. We hereby revoke our offer of February 1.” Associated Mattress really wanted to sell to Gentle Pillows because the price of $1.5 million was well above market value. On February 12 Associated Mattress signed the offer made by Gentle Pillows on February 1 and sent it back to Gentle with the following note written on the offer: “We hereby accept your firm offer of February 1. We reject your attempted revocation of your firm offer and agree to proceed with the immediate sale of the property located in Madison.” The parties now disagree over whether they have a contract. Associated Mattress contends that it properly accepted Gentle Pillows’ February 1 offer. Gentle Pillows disagrees. Required – 6 Points. Who is correct, Gentle or Associated? Discuss.

QUESTION 1 – 8 Pоints Enlighten Finаnciаl Prоducts, Inc. is а business lоcated in Madison, Wisconsin that provides financial planning advice and insurance products to individuals throughout the Midwest. Enlighten is owned by Paul Castro. Enlighten employs approximately 15 certified financial planners and insurance brokers. Enlighten has developed a system, unique in the industry, for packaging investments and insurance products that has given it an advantage over its competitors. Enlighten has a current customer base of approximately 900 separate accounts that have purchased this unique investment/insurance program. Enlighten has been in business since 2000 and has developed a strong reputation in the community. Enlighten maintains a current customer list including the 900 accounts that are part of its investment/insurance product portfolio. This customer list includes the names of the account holders, the investments purchased by the individuals, the individuals’ overall investment portfolio, the individual’s insurance products, information on pricing, information on policy expiration dates, and other important information relating to the products purchased by the Enlighten customers. The customer list is maintained on Enlighten’s computer server and only Paul Castro and one other chief executive for Enlighten have access to the full customer list. The customer list is clearly stamped “CONFIDENTIAL” and includes a general statement that the information contained on the list belongs to Enlighten. All Enlighten employees and salespeople are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement whereby they agree not to access or disclose confidential materials maintained by Enlighten, including its customer information. Chris Tone worked for Enlighten beginning in 2010. Tone was a salesperson that was fully licensed to sell the investment/insurance products. Tone was a successful salesperson. Tone was not subject to a non-compete agreement, so he was free to leave Enlighten at any time. In January 2025 Tone informed Enlighten and Castro that he was going to work for The Salsbury Group, a firm located in Milwaukee that directly competes with Enlighten. Enlighten has discovered that before he left the company, Tone made a copy of the Enlighten customer list. Tone gave the list to The Salsbury Group, and they are now using the customer list to contact Enlighten’s customers to offer discounted investment/insurance products in direct competition with Enlighten. Enlighten has sued The Salsbury Group under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. The Salsbury Group is defending against the claim by making two legal arguments: (A) Enlighten’s customer list does not constitute a trade secret under applicable law and even if it does, (B) The Salsbury Group did nothing wrong in the way it obtained the customer list (i.e. Chris Tone gave them a copy of the list). Required-8 Points: In separate sections labeled (A) and (B) corresponding to the defenses raised by The Salsbury Group in the prior paragraph, discuss whether The Salsbury Group will be successful in its two defenses under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
