SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - April 29, 2009) - Scientist Solutions, a life sciences company
globally connecting scientists through its premier online discussion board
and multi-vendor product shows, announced today that it had filed an unfair
competition / misappropriation of trade secrets case against LabRoots in
the Superior Court in the State of California. The complaint alleges that
LabRoots, which is owned and operated by two former Scientist Solutions
Shareholders, Officers and Board Members, misused, misappropriated and
disclosed confidential information and infringed on Scientist Soluitons'
intellectual property for improper competitive advantage. In addition, the
lawsuit alleges that LabRoots' founders solicited Scientist Solutions'
customers and suppliers and otherwise sought to damage Scientist Solutions
while still employed by Scientist Solutions.
"Since 2004, we have invested millions of dollars to develop and market
Scientist Solutions as the ultimate online destination and hub for
scientific information exchange," said Scientist Solutions Founder and CEO
Marcia Allen. "It is distressing that the very people we trusted to protect
us, used that trust to take advantage of us. We will fight hard to protect
our intellectual property and the proprietary confidential information we
worked so hard to obtain."
