Bullies who attempt to use their “war chest” to stifle competition will fail. — Pete Marketos, Closing Argument
The Case – 14th Judicial District Court in Dallas, Texas
Profinity, a startup Internet marketing company, hired a former employee of One Technologies—the largest privately held provider of credit-monitoring products—to help Profinity’s marketing efforts. Before he left, the employee told One Tech where he was going to work, and he negotiated an “Addendum” to his existing non-compete agreement. But just a few months after he went to work for Profinity, One Technologies sued the employee and Profinity anyway–seeking more than $13 million for trade secret violations and tortious interference.
