Feds Paid $45M to Northrop to Settle Trade Secrets Case
The U.S. government paid $45 million to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. over claims that federal agencies misappropriated trade secrets related to a polar satellite program, this reporter learned through a Freedom of Information Act request to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The payment, which was made in 2014 and has not been previously reported, was authorized by the Commerce Department on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Air Force and National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The expenditure was listed without identification as a “miscellany” $45 million administrative tort payment in the federal government's Judgment Fund database. Such payments are usually less than $10,000 for claims such as slip and falls. The Judgment Fund entry did not identify the recipient of the payment or list a case number.
