Description

This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. Oklahoma Complaint — Trade Secret— - Misappropriation by Former Employee and Prospective Purchaser — Breach of fiduciary duty Description: An Oklahoma complaint regarding trade secrets' misappropriation by a former employee and prospective purchaser, along with allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, holds significant implications for both businesses and individuals involved. This legal action seeks to address infringement upon trade secrets and the breach of trust by an employee. Trade secrets hold immense value for businesses, providing them with a competitive edge and safeguarding their proprietary information from competitors. When an employee or prospective purchaser unlawfully gains access to such trade secrets, it can cause irreparable harm to the company. In this complaint, the plaintiff asserts that a former employee, who was entrusted with confidential information and trade secrets during their employment, has violated their legal obligations by sharing or using this confidential information for their personal gain, or on behalf of a prospective purchaser. The prospective purchaser is accused of either participating or encouraging the ex-employee's actions, thus potentially benefiting from the misappropriation of trade secrets. The complaint also contends that both the former employee and the potential purchaser have breached their fiduciary duty — a legal and ethical obligation to act in the best interest of a company or its clients. By misappropriating trade secrets and potentially disclosing them to competitors, the ex-employee has violated their fiduciary duty to safeguard the interests of their employer during and after their employment. Likewise, the prospective purchaser, if found complicit, may be held responsible for breaching their fiduciary duty by knowingly encouraging or utilizing unlawfully obtained trade secrets to gain an unfair advantage in the marketplace.
