Judge Kendrick concluded
that a non-disclosure document submitted by NMS in support of its case
against BuzzMetrics instead had the effect of defeating NMS's trade-secret
claim.

that these tactics served no purpose other than to adversely manipulate
Internet search results for BuzzMetrics among its customers and other key
stakeholders.

These groups are generally called 'Anti-Cult', but their subcategory is named 'Cult', because that's what they're opposed to.
