天哪,太快了

在 Palltronics 诉 PALIoT Solutions 案(密歇根州的 DTSA 诉讼案)中,前员工建立可运营的竞争业务的速度被认定为暗示商业秘密被盗用。

一家货运托盘公司宣布破产,并以 $5 万美元的价格出售了资产(包括商业秘密)。 前雇员很快成立了一家竞争公司。 买方起诉他们盗用商业秘密和违反合同(保密)。

商业秘密包括一种特殊的聚合物混合物、托盘的组装方法以及跟踪托盘移动的追踪系统。

雇员的 NDA 合同规定,雇员不得披露或使用雇主的商业秘密。 法院还认为,竞争公司的成立和运营速度如此之快,表明存在窃取商业机密的行为。

法院下达了初步禁令,案件仍在审理中。 原告认为,商业秘密已被具体指明,而且雇用合同中包含保密条款,这对原告很有帮助。
