Orbitz Statement on G2 Switchworks
CHICAGO, Ill., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbitz, LLC filed a lawsuit
against G2 Switchworks Corp. and five of G2's officers and
employees. All of the G2 defendants were former Orbitz employees.
The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County and
alleges that the G2 defendants breached their employment-related
agreements with Orbitz, which includes having improperly taken and
used Orbitz's confidential information and trade secrets.
At least one current G2 employee has already admitted, in writing,
that he "was in possession of and used sensitive documents." That
same G2 employee also confirmed that "[t]here is simply no excuse
for my actions." Orbitz will vigorously protect the information it
has spent vast resources to develop. Orbitz filed this lawsuit to
determine what additional information and other
property the G2 defendants took
from Orbitz, to prevent its further use by the G2 defendants,
and to require its return to Orbitz.
