Court
L.A. Superior Pomona
Attorneys
Plaintiff
Stephen E. Abraham
(Law Offices of Stephen Abraham)
Defendant
Mark A. Schadrack
(Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith LLP)
Facts
Injen's Vice President of Sales left Injen, and subsequently started working for a new competitor ("Fujita"). Shortly after Fujita began selling its products (after-market automotive air intake systems), Injen filed suit.
Injen alleged the defendants stole its trade secrets (customer information, vendor information and product information), and used the trade secrets to compete unlawfully. Injen also alleged its former officer breached a written, nondisclosure agreement and his fiduciary duties.
The defendants contended that the products at issue were reverse engineered, which is a defense under the Trade Secret Act.
Result
Judgment in favor of defendants on all claims.
