In an amended petition filed on Monday, a Texas company significantly increased the amount of damages it seeks from K&L Gates in a conflict-of-interest suit that a Texas appeals court recently booted back to a trial court. In the amended petition, Quantum Materials Corp. of San Marcus seeks $20 million in actual damages, and $260 million in punitive damages. In the original petition filed in 2018 in Hays County district court, Quantum Materials sought $100,000 in actual damages and $100.3 million in punitive damages.
