TDBBS v. Ethical Products (D. Ariz. 2019): trade-secret suit over poached VP and new chews line

Best Bully Sticks' maker alleged Ethical hired its ex-VP of Sales to run a competing single-ingredient chews line using its pricing files. The court's order quotes a Jonathan Zelinger email that the hire 'knows where their Achilles heel is and where they are vulnerable and that's what we will be going after with his guidance', and said the hiring conduct 'raises serious questions'. The court declined to issue an injunction; the case ended by stipulated dismissal on 2020-09-24.
