A non-compete/non-disclosure was signed. These guys broke the terms of the contract. pretty simple.
Umsted, Francis, Salander and the Rice's used the contacts, connections, etc in bad faith. You can't sign an agreement, leave your employer and take confidential information (or information information gathered on the company dime and considered proprietary) to a competitor. That when lawsuits happen, and that's what we see here.
I do happen to work for a law firm and have had this briefly reviewed. We will see what happens but I'm told that APT "has a strong case and the upper hand".
Go ahead and nit-pick the stuff that doesn't matter in the case. It's only supporting evidence.
Oh, did you read the part about trademark infringement.....
