不久之后 我们写过关于酒类生产中的商业秘密啤酒和苹果酒生产商之间发生了一起被广泛报道的商业秘密盗用事件。

波士顿啤酒公司(Sam Adams 和 Angry Orchard 的制造商)负责 IT、销售和业务分析的经理于 2023 年 4 月自愿离职,加入 Downeast Cider House 担任高级营销副总裁。

波士顿啤酒公司警告他,加入 Downeast Cider 公司将违反他的雇佣协议。他们还通知 Downeast Cider 的创始人,如果他们雇用此人,他将违反之前的雇佣协议。

就在离开之前,我们无畏的 IT 经理将一个外部设备连接到他公司的电脑上,并访问了包括市场计划、销售业绩、定价指南、预算和品牌文件在内的文件。

波士顿啤酒公司于 2023 年 10 月起诉此人和 Downeast 公司,理由包括:违反竞业禁止、不披露信息、培训偿还条款、故意干扰合同、盗用商业机密、违反信托责任和不当得利。波士顿啤酒还要求发布初步禁令,禁止此人在一年内为 Downeast 工作,并且不得披露波士顿啤酒的机密信息。

有趣的是,该诉讼并不是根据 DTSA 向联邦法院提起的,而是根据 UTSA 向马萨诸塞州法院提起的。这场诉讼才刚刚开始,您可以一边品尝自己喜欢的苹果酒,一边欣赏这场有趣的诉讼...
