Jawbone granted injunction against Fitbit bound former employees
Earlier this year Jawbone filed a lawsuit against several former employees who left to join rival Fitbit. Jawbone’s lawsuit claims the former employees took confidential company information with them in a breach of their contract with Jawbone. A California superior court judge granted a preliminary injunction on Tuesday to Jawbone.
The former employees are required by the court’s order to turn over “confidential, proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how.” In addition, Jawbone will be permitted to examine personal computers and expunge information deemed to be covered by the lawsuit.
The information Jawbone claims was taken includes details on “the positioning of Jawbone’s current and future technologies.” Although Jawbone claims Fitbit and the former employees are “bitterly” contesting the issuance of an injunction, the employees in question recently returned copies of 18,000 confidential files prior to the injunction being issued.
