NEW YORK — With less than two hours of deliberation, a jury in New York State Supreme Court found in favor of Independent Media Services, awarding the company $7 million in its lawsuit against Aegis Group’s Carat USA alleging breach of contract, misuse of trade secrets, unfair competition and illegal interference with business relations.

The 11-member jury of seven women and four men were unanimous in their verdict, according to a representative for State Supreme Court Justice, Ira Gammerman, who presided over the trial.
