IL: Batavia Container sues former employee for trade secrets theft

Posted on August 3, 2015 by Dissent

Eric Schelkopf reports that Batavia Container Inc. has sued a former employee, Robert M. Dunn. The suit alleges he stole company secrets before he left to work for a competitor, Victory Packaging, and that his employment with Victory Packaging was in violation of the provisions of a noncompete agreement.

Read more on MySuburbanLife.com. In related coverage on The Daily Herald, Harry Hitzeman reports:

The lawsuit alleges Dunn, of Batavia, accessed company computers May 27 — less than 48 hours before resigning — and downloaded information to a thumb drive before joining Victory Packaging in Aurora. He has refused to return the information despite signing a confidentiality and no-compete agreements in 2010 and 2014, the suit argues.

According to Schelkopf’s report, Kane County Circuit Judge Thomas Mueller has ordered Dunn turn over the thumb drive and to provide certain limited access to his personal Gmail account.
